The United Nations Relief and Works Agency has terminated the contracts of 12 employees over their alleged involvement in the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks in Israel and launched an investigation into their role. Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner-General, made the announcement after the U.S., Canada and Australia paused additional funding for UNRWA pending the investigation’s outcome.
In a statement Friday, Lazzarini emphasized that any UNRWA employee involved in acts of terror would face criminal prosecution. “UNRWA reiterates its condemnation in the strongest possible terms of the abhorrent attacks of 7 October and calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all Israeli hostages and their safe return to their families,” Lazzarini said.

Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken spoke with U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and said the Biden administration supports a thorough investigation. In a statement, the State Department highlighted UNRWA’s role in providing lifesaving assistance to Palestinians and stressed the need for accountability and appropriate corrective measures.
“There must be complete accountability for anyone who participated in the heinous attacks of October 7,” the State Department said.

The Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education reported at the time that 13 UNRWA staffers had celebrated the Oct. 7 attacks on social media. This report also mentioned antisemitic content in UNRWA school textbooks, a claim UNRWA Communications Director Juliette Touma labeled “unsubstantiated.”
“UNRWA rejects claims linking its schools to the abhorrent 7 October attacks in Israel — attacks that UNRWA has condemned in the strongest terms,” Touma said at the time. “As in the past, these allegations are yet another attempt to sensationalize and extrapolate, based on flawed methodology and flimsy evidence.”
Commentary:
I'm SHOCKED that the UN actually did anything to these terrorists, but that does NOTHING to change the fact that it is an ANTI-Israel, ANTI-US international body that needs to be kicked out of our country and thrown into the ash heap of history. They are ONLY doing this for publicity purposes. Probably behind the scenes, some deal is ALREADY being made to pay these people off and sneak them away somewhere.
Seems like there is another 7 billion dollars in UN-administered “aid to the refugees” that is still missing.
