Recent reports indicate that the IDF has arrested at least 8 UNRWA employees in Gaza over alleged ties to Hamas, with one suspected of involvement in the October 7 massacre. US intelligence expresses 'low confidence' in Israeli claims about UNRWA, leading to a suspension of aid to the organization. The US has paused funding to UNRWA amidst Israeli allegations that cannot be independently verified.
US intel doesn't appear as sure as Israel that UNRWA employees participated in Hamas's Oct. 7 attack https://t.co/JTWZMd53z8
New U.S. intelligence confirms that @UNRWA employees helped carry out Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7th. We can never fund this terrorist-sympathizing organization ever again.
The US has paused funding to UNRWA (which is the primary aid delivery org to Palestinians in Gaza) over Israeli charges that cannot be independently verified. @benjaminja : https://t.co/JTWZMd53z8
On October 7th, your employees raped, killed & kidnapped Jews. For years, your employees taught Palestinian children to hate & kill Jews. For years, your employees aided & abetted Hamas and purposely kept Palestinians in permanent refugee status. @UNRWA must be disbanded now. https://t.co/QvsL3TU3wD
.@benjaminja : There has been a international cut-off of UNRWA funding for Gazan aid over Israeli allegations that US intel now says they have 'low confidence" in. What gives? https://t.co/JTWZMd5BoG
US intelligence confirms some claims about UNRWA staff ties to Hamas: report https://t.co/gyTnEX2Tf9
US intelligence has low confidence in Israel’s assessments and notes openly that Israel has a “bias” against UNRWA. Policy response after this assessment: defund UNRWA and try to destroy it https://t.co/vhtDJyMLE6
A new U.S. intelligence report "mentions how Israeli bias serves to mischaracterize much of their assessments on UNRWA" -- the claim the 10% of employees are "linked" to Hamas -- "and says this has resulted in distortions.” Yet Biden suspends UNRWA aid! https://t.co/SnKlpiV7s3
A new US intelligence assessment found it "likely" that UNRWA employees took part in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack but says "the US can’t verify Israeli allegations that a larger number of U.N. workers have links to militant groups," yet Biden still suspends aid. https://t.co/SnKlpiV7s3
When you read between the lines even the CIA doubts Israeli claims: A US intelligence assessment of Israel’s claims that UN aid agency staff members participated in the Hamas attack on 7 October said some of the accusations were credible, though could not be independently…
Declaring “low confidence” in Israel’s claim that @UNRWA staff took part in the 10/7 attack, a US intelligence assessment reportedly notes that “Israeli bias serves to mischaracterize much of their assessments on UNRWA [which] has resulted in distortions.” https://t.co/caA6odF9VO
The Israeli government has yet to provide clear evidence that employees of a UN aid agency participated in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack https://t.co/JTWZMd5BoG
