The United Nations has suspended two male workers without pay after a video emerged of them cavorting with a woman in a red dress inside a UN-marked vehicle as it cruised through Tel Aviv. In the 18-second video clip, a woman is seen straddling a man in the back seat of the car, while another man dozes in the passenger seat as the vehicle drives past a beach in the Israeli city. The UN reacted with horror to the video and launched an investigation, which is focused on two workers from the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO), which monitors military activity in Israel. Neither the woman nor the two men have been named since the video – which UNTSO has described as “abhorrent” – went viral earlier in June. “Two male international staff members who were in the UN vehicle in Tel Aviv have been identified as having engaged in misconduct, including conduct of a sexual nature,” Stéphane Dujarric, a spokesman for Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, said in a statement on Thursday.
