Deep dives

UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees Linked to Hamas and Terrorist Groups

Israeli intelligence has revealed that 10% of the staff at the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) have connections to Hamas and other terrorist groups, with some directly participating in the October 7th massacre. UNRWA, a separate organization dedicated to Palestinian refugees, has been criticized for its questionable definition of refugees, including descendants of the original 1948 refugees. The organization receives significant funding, with the US being the largest contributor. Meanwhile, the Biden administration has restored funding to UNRWA and also provided $6 billion to Iran, despite ongoing hostilities. Critics argue that this support undermines US interests and enables groups hostile to America.
