“However, one thing I’d like to point out is that since information used by Israeli officials to support the allegations have remained in Israeli custody, OIOS was not able to independently authenticate most of the information provided to it,” he noted.
With respect to the remaining nine cases, the evidence obtained by OIOS indicated that the UNRWA staff members MAY have been involved in the 7 October attacks.
Would take less time if Israel provided any evidence for its claims. UNRWA cannot even ascertain if these allegations are true,
Nine of them were involved in the October 7th attacks, and there’s proof that more are still Hamas fighters, but I know that people aren’t interested in facts because they just want to bash Israel at every opportunity.
Because supporting terrorists is cool now.

Supporting Palestinian armed resistance is not cool in the West Bank… where Israel is currently bulldozing UNRWA offices.

I’m not going to bother with the Israeli government link. And UNWatch is funded by Israel so same thing for that.
But I did I click the Guardian link which led to https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/sep/30/israel-attacks-live-blog-lebanon-yemen-hamas-hezbollah-news-updates-middle-east-crisis?filterKeyEvents=false&page=with%3Ablock-66fa3c0f8f08441851818975#block-66fa3c0f8f08441851818975.
But that does not cite where Hamas said it either.
Is that the same UNRWA that has Hamas fighters working for them?
Yes the UNRWA armed Palestinian resistance faction.
Thank you for explaining why it is pointless for Palestinians not to engage in armed resistance. Israeli will say they did so anyway.

Israel should release that proof then. Unless they do not have it.
UNRWA themselves admitted it in September. The head of Hamas in Lebanon was an UNRWA employee.
Most of the money that goes to UNRWA ends up in the hands of Hamas.
Allegations of 9 people in an organization of 12.000 being Hamas is one thing.
Extrapolating that to all UNRWA funding going to Hamas is an amazing stretch of reality.
By the way can you link the Hamas announcement of this person being Hamas? The AP article does not link it. It quotes the IDF claiming Hamas said it.
