A majority had important roles in UNRWA schools, serving as principals or deputy principals.
Some 24 United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) employees working in some 24 schools belonging to the organization in the Gaza Strip have been identified as Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad members, the New York Times reported earlier this week, citing a Hamas document provided by the Israeli government.
According to the confidential document, most of these UNRWA employees served in Hamas's military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades. In addition, a majority had important roles in UNRWA schools, serving as principals or deputy principals.
According to the NYT, some of the UNRWA employees remained in their positions even after Israel warned the organization of their terrorist activities. Similarly, the UN agency did not fire Hamas terrorists after tunnels were uncovered within or near its schools.
Israel has said that UNRWA staff were employed by Hamas and were involved in the kidnapping of Israelis during the October 7 massacre perpetrated by Hamas in southern Israel.
October 7 victims sue UNRWA In June, over 100 victims of the October 7 massacre filed a lawsuit against UNRWA, stating the organization aided Hamas.
In August, Ayelet Samerano, mother of Yonatan Samerano, who was killed on October 7 and whose body was kidnapped to Gaza, apostrophized UNRWA chief Philippe Lazarini, telling him UNRWA had kidnapped her son.
In November, Israel canceled its contract with the agency, forcing it to shut down in east Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank within three months.
UNRWA can operate solely with the permission of the government that controls the regions in which it acts.
The United Nations and the sub organizations controlled must be abolished and not permitted to get near Israel or Palestine ever again.
The UN nust be removed from New York because it is without any doubt a purveyor of the Iranian terrorism.
My shocked face....😴😴😴😴
“The United Nations is a complicit operative in the October 7 Hamas terrorist assaults on Israel.”
Complicit? I wouldn’t use that word. My word would be the IMPETUS behind the Oct. 7th attack on Israel. When an organization, whose job it is to prevent war, is used to promote war and terrorism, it has no purpose.
The UN is dead in my eyes. Get it off US soil. Prosecute anyone who organized and helped with the murders. Never again does it get any US taxpayer money.
Only 24 UNWRA “employees” are HAMAS? How about 2,400 employees working as terrorists under the guise of a UN Humanitarian organization?
The UN disgraced itself years ago when it let Turkey invade northern Cyprus in 1974 and accepted this “occupation” that nobody talks about.
Since 1974 the UN has, time and time again proven to be a major obstacle to peace and tranquility on the planet.
The time has come for President Trump to cut funding by 90%. If that does not wake them up then send the whole UN to Iran, North Korea, China and Russia.
How much more must the American taxpayer endure before we stop financing this terrorist organization?
Surprise, Surprise, Surprise - G.Pyle
The UN actively supports terrorists, been doing so for decades.
Israel always knew this, but were told, non-stop, to SUCK IT UP. It cost over 1000 lives, but Israel has now been vindicated.
Get out of this shithole UN now!
well, blow me down, NYT caught in a random act of actual journalism ...
I wonder how many currently being paid with our tax dollars were active participants in the kidnapping and murder of American citizens.
