Allegations have emerged linking 12 out of 13,000 UNRWA staff members in Gaza to the October 7 massacre carried out by Hamas. In response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has urged the international community to replace UNRWA. Following these allegations, the United Nations has initiated an external review of UNRWA, and the agency's head is seeking support in the Gulf states after key donor countries, including the UK, US, Germany, and Britain, suspended funding. However, a Channel 4 News investigation into the six-page long Israeli dossier that prompted the funding suspension has found no evidence to support the claims of UNRWA staff involvement in the attacks.
There is "no evidence" in Israel's dossier for UNRWA staff being involved in 7th October attacks. That's according to Channel 4 News, who have seen the dossier. So Western governments ended their funding during a humanitarian catastrophe without even any evidence. https://t.co/0pjghTKuxJ
Key donor nations, like the US, Germany, and Britain, have suspended funding to UNRWA over Israeli claims linking 12 of its 13,000 Gaza employees to the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas gunmen in southern Israel. https://t.co/2woh3q3WmJ

This is actually horrendous. Israel’s evidence of UNRWA Hamas allegations examined. Six pages & described as including ‘flimsy evidence’ upon which the U.K. has withdrawn its funding. https://t.co/enUJvQrX5b via @lindseyhilsum
We got hold of Israel’s dossier against UNRWA - why did the donors including the UK withdraw funding on such flimsy unproven allegations before an investigation? https://t.co/9ssCrIbfPK
