The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is a UN agency that operates for the benefit of Palestinian refugees.
Having been founded in 1949, UNRWA is the only UN refugee agency dedicated to a specific area and refugee crisis.
The organization continues to operate in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, providing humanitarian aid and education for Palestinians.
However, UNRWA has also come under fire for a number of controversies, such as those who claim it creates dependency rather than resettling refugees and others who claim it promotes antisemitism and incitement against Israel in its educational programs.
The ‘Magazine’ talks to the colonel who fought Hamas at an UNRWA site in Gaza City.
Israeli Air Force fighter jets also attacked a weapons depot located near a Hamas military site that had previously served as the Salah al-Din School in Gaza City Wednesday evening.
Norway’s current approach, which claims neutrality, openly supports one side, speaking of peace while funding extremism.
Beneath the surface of this scandal lies a more profound and unsettling question: What other truths have UN agencies concealed?
A secure Israel and combating antisemitism, discrimination, and inequality were among the promises Starmer made before his election.
Of the 19 UNRWA staff members that were under investigation, in one, there was no evidence of involvement in October 7 and in another nine, there was limited evidence, and these cases were closed.
Ayelet Samerano, mother of hostage Yonatan, highlighted UNRWA's involvement in the October 7 attacks and hostage-taking.
He also expressed concern over the “growing anger towards Israel,” which could “awaken the dark forces that could fuel antisemitism.”
Accepting and carrying out the directions of the ICJ would result in the regrouping of Hamas, ending with the fulfillment of their promise to repeat October 7. Again, and again.
The bills are a response to claims that some members of UNWRA were also members of Hamas's armed wing, with some even participating in the October 7 Hamas massacre.
