Israel is alleging that 12 UNRWA workers were complicit in the Hamas attack on October 7th. In response, US lawmakers have taken significant steps, with Representative Luna introducing legislation to defund the UN, and Senator Romney and Representative Ronny Jackson calling for an end to contributions and funding to UNRWA. Representative Tenney has demanded the resignation of the UN Secretary-General and UNRWA Commissioner. The hashtag #UNRWAisHamas has been used to highlight the controversy. Furthermore, there are calls for the IRS to revoke UNRWA USA's nonprofit status, a point which Representative Joe Wilson believes should be considered.

🔴 UPDATE: Following our request that IRS revoke #UNRWA USA's charitable status over Oct 7 links to Hamas, @RepJoeWilson says "That is a pressure point that absolutely should be considered and looked into." @MarkGoldfeder @The_ILF See more by @Kredo0: https://t.co/XYjwjD3c1C
“It is no longer debatable; #UNRWAisHamas.” See @JNS_org report on our demand for IRS to suspend nonprofit status of @unrwausa, over @UNRWA's irrefutable connection to Hamas and the Oct 7 massacre. @The_ILF @MarkGoldfeder https://t.co/Rn13Cx3qW2

UNRWA employees’ involvement in the heinous attacks on October 7th underscores the fact that the UN and UNRWA cannot be trusted with taxpayers' dollars. That's why I am calling for the UN Secretary-General and UNRWA Commissioner to immediately resign. https://t.co/RsoSS9ki4n
The UN can't simultaneously call for peace while they hire terrorists, fund them, indoctrinate innocent children, and promote antisemitism. I intro'd legislation today that would END US funding to UNRWA and hold them accountable for their role in the horrible Oct. 7 attacks! https://t.co/eXlCR1Wwv4

The revelation that @UNRWA members were involved in the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks is emblematic of an organization that cannot cure the rot that is so endemic to its mission. We should immediately and permanently prohibit contributions to UNRWA. https://t.co/yRMWhbLrLY

The revelation that UNRWA staff played a part in the October 7 attacks is not an example of a few bad apples acting out. It is emblematic of an organization where no investigation or corrective measures will be enough to cure the rot that is so clearly endemic to its mission. https://t.co/k8OhMLY9s3
Israel is alleging that 12 UNRWA workers helped in the Hamas attack on October 7th. The UN is not salvageable. That’s why I introduced legislation to start DEFUNDING it. https://t.co/dq6td21yNP
