Israel Demands UNRWA Dismiss 100 Employees Identified as Terrorist Operatives

Israeli officials claim the UN relief agency employs Hamas and PIJ members, posing a security risk and breaching neutrality.

  • Israel provided a list of 100 UNRWA employees allegedly linked to Hamas and PIJ, asking for their immediate termination.
  • The Israeli ambassador emphasized that the identified individuals are only a small fraction of the total terrorist operatives in UNRWA.
  • UNRWA's head initially took action against employees involved in October 7 attacks but has since criticized Israel's efforts to dismantle the agency.
  • The accusations have reignited debates over UNRWA's role and funding, with some donor countries previously suspending financial support.
  • A lawsuit has been filed against UNRWA, accusing it of complicity in genocide and transferring funds to Hamas.
