Sheikha Moza bint Nasser Resigns from UNESCO Ambassador Role in Protest Over Gaza.
In a significant move, Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, mother of the Emir of Qatar and chairperson of the Education Above All Foundation, has resigned from her position as a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador. This decision comes after a nearly 20-year-long affiliation with the organization.
Sheikha Moza's resignation, reported on November 15, 2023, is a protest against UNESCO’s lack of response to the situation of children in Gaza, particularly during Israeli attacks. Expressing her disappointment, Sheikha Moza criticized UNESCO for not upholding its responsibilities in protecting education and supporting children in conflict zones.
