After it became known that 12 employees of the United Nations Palestine Refugee Agency (UNRA) were involved in the massacre on October 7, the United States decided to stop funding the organization. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz reacted to this event. He welcomed the decision and pointed out that Israel had repeatedly warned the world that UNRWA was the civilian arm of the terrorist group Hamas.
Walla writes about this.
He pointed out that UNRWA was perpetuating the refugee “problem” and undermining peace. Katz also called on the UN to urgently take tough measures against the UNRA and their leaders.
Kuror previously wrote that Canada, following the United States, decided to stop funding the UN Agency for Palestine Refugees after it turned out that 12 employees of the organization participated in the October 7 massacre perpetrated by the terrorist group Hamas. As a result, about 1,200 Israelis and foreign citizens died.
US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller indicated that UNRA plays a key role in the distribution of aid in the Gaza Strip. However, cargo delivered to the region is intercepted by terrorists. It is possible that UNRA employees contributed to this.
They are currently under investigation.
