US pauses UNRWA funding after employees accused of Oct. 7 involvement

The State Department has paused additional funding to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees while it reviews allegations that 12 of the organization’s employees were involved in Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, known as UNRWA, said on Friday that it was conducting an investigation into the alleged involvement of several of its employees and that it had immediately terminated their contracts.

“The United States is extremely troubled by the allegations that twelve UNRWA employees may have been involved in the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a statement. 

It’s all a deliberate distraction from the actual genocide Israel has been committing for decades.
