Leaked emails point to a UN official who fed confidential documents to Israeli diplomats — bad for the UN's credibility and now awkward because that same official runs UNICEF.

• Hacked emails suggest UN official Yahav Litner passed internal UN documents to Israeli diplomats between 2014 and 2015.
• Leaked material reportedly included confidential reports on the UN human rights chief's Washington meetings, a war crimes report timeline on Gaza, and private notes from the Secretary General's talks with foreign leaders.
• Israel allegedly used the intelligence to lobby the US government and blunt UN moves it saw as hostile, during the fallout from the 2014 Gaza offensive.
• Litner later became head of UNICEF, and there's no sign the leaking continued or that UNICEF knew about it when hiring him.
• The emails came from a hacked archive of former Israeli UN ambassador Ron Prosor, released through a group with reported Iranian intelligence ties.

Outlook: Expect loud calls for Litner's removal, though there's no indication yet that UNICEF or the UN plans to act.
