More Evidence of UNRWA Complicity

According to Israel`s Channel 13, the three hostages released on Sunday, Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher, say they were held in a United Nations refugee camp at some point during their captivity.

This raises further concerns over the links between the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and Hamas terrorists. UNRWA have posted the following comment on their website:

‘We provide services in 8 Palestine refugee camps in the Gaza Strip. UNRWA does not administer or police the camps, as this is the responsibility of the host authorities.’

In response to this news, Richard Goldberg, of the Foundation for the Defence of Democracies said:

“We need to stop thinking about UNRWA as merely a supporter of Hamas
and start internalising the extent to which the agency is a front for Hamas.”

His colleague, David May, added that:

“International media, humanitarian groups, and the United Nations reward this strategy
when they criticise Israel for operating in humanitarian zones that Hamas has turned into battlefields.”

Separately, Fox News has learned that several of the terrorists captured by the Israelis, during a major raid on the Kamal Adwan Hospital last month, admitted that Israeli hostages were held there too.

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) claim that the director of the hospital, Hussam Abu Safiya, actively collaborated with the terror group.

But even more significant is the report issued by UN Watch on 7th January titled, ‘The Unholy Alliance: UNRWA, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad.’

It reveals how UNRWA has forged an alliance with terrorist organisations, enabling them to significantly influence the policies and practices of the agency, which has 30,000 employees, and a $1.5 billion annual budget, funded primarily by Western countries.

Furthermore, the report shows how UNRWA’s international officials and senior local managers routinely meet with terrorist groups, praise each other for “cooperation,” and describe each other as “partners.”
