The two were caught on camera doing the wrong thing at the wrong place and they were suspended.
The United Nations said it has suspended two male staff members involved in a recent viral sex video in Israel.
Mr Stephane Dujarric, the spokesman for the Secretary-General, disclosed this in a note to UN correspondents in New York on Thursday.
Dujarric said both employees had been identified and placed on “Administrative Leave Without Pay” pending the conclusion of an ongoing investigation into the allegation.
The video, which surfaced online last week, shows a couple apparently having sex on the back seat of a UN official car in Tel Aviv.
On Friday, Dujarric told correspondents that the organisation was “shocked and deeply disturbed” by the footage, and that investigation had been launched.
He confirmed that the video featured a 4×4 vehicle, containing personnel “likely assigned to the UN Truce Supervision Organisation (UNTSO)” headquartered in Jerusalem.
The short video shows a white woman in a red dress straddling an equally white man in the back seat of the white SUV bearing the “UN” inscription.
With them in the moving vehicle were the driver and a bald-head man sitting on the passenger side, in front.
Media reports say the footage was recorded on HaYarkon Street, a major thoroughfare in Tel Aviv, Israeli capital.
