UNRWA Terror Ties Extend to Highest Levels of Hamas

The Israeli parliament’s ban on United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) activities inside Israel is a response to a mounting pile of evidence that the UN agency, at the very least, has been penetrated and exploited by Hamas. The fact that low-level UNRWA staffers were known to have participated in the October 7 attack, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was carrying the passport of an UNRWA teacher when he was killed, and other Hamas leaders were employed by UNRWA demonstrates that the agency’s terror connections run to the highest levels of Hamas. Worse yet, UNRWA top brass knew for months that the agency employed Hamas leaders but took little action.

Rather than the work of a few bad apples, UNRWA’s systemic involvement with terror organizations compromises the agency as a whole.
