Australia's Foreign Minister, Penny Wong, faces criticism from opposition leader Peter Dutton and Israel over the potential reinstatement of $6 million in aid to the UNRWA. The aid is under scrutiny amid allegations that it fell into the hands of Hamas terrorists. Dutton has labeled Wong's position as 'untenable' and urged the Prime Minister to sack her if the funding is reinstated. Israel has accused Australia of forgetting Hamas's culpability for the Gaza war as the government considers UNRWA funding. Wong has signaled the nation may send aid money to UNRWA again, but the executive director of UNICEF understands why nations are uncomfortable given recent allegations.
