The United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, Jeffrey Feltman, utterly rejects the article citing his alleged views which appeared in Al Akhbar on 12 October 2013.
The quotes in the article were fabricated, and do not reflect Under-Secretary-General Feltman's views. They were not confirmed with the United Nations before publication. In reality, the United Nations - and Under-Secretary-General Feltman as head of its Department of Political Affairs - works closely with Saudi officials on a number of topics, from the transition in Yemen to counter-terrorism and beyond. The United Nations highly appreciates the role the Kingdom plays on these issues, and greatly values the long standing support of the Saudi Government for the work of the United Nations in the region.
