Tel Aviv is lying about UNRWA

Nazi Israel’s “dossier” showing employees of UNRWA, the refugee agency, participated in Al Aqsa Flood on October 7, is completely devoid of any facts substantiating its claims

Channel 4’s Lindsey Hilsum presented the story and then posted it to her X account, formerly Twitter, along with the caption “We got hold of Israel’s dossier against UNRWA – why did the donors including the U.K. withdraw funding on such flimsy unproven allegations before an investigation?”

The allegations, which were detailed in a confidential Israeli intelligence brief involve 12 UNRWA employees who Israel claims were involved in the Hamas attacks.

Channel 4 says the intelligence report “contains no evidence to support Israel’s claim. It says only: ‘From intelligence information, documents, and identity cards seized during the course of the fighting, it is now possible to flag around 190 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist operatives who serve as UNRWA employees. More than 10 UNRWA staffers took part in the events of October 7.’”

Juliette Touma, UNRWA’s director of communications, says in the expose employees and contractors are placed on a list given to Israel annually for approval. All UNRWA workers had been vetted and approved by Israel last May.

Israel gave the dossier to major UNRWA donor countries just after the ICJ made their interim ruling on South Africa’s charge of genocide against Israel.

UNRWA may lose $65 million by the end of February as donors’ funding cuts take effect, imperiling the agency’s operations in Gaza and across Arabia.

“We are going to be forced to make very tough decisions that humanitarian aid workers are not supposed to be forced to make,” she said.
