(February 16, 2024 \/ JNS)<\/span><\/div>\n

Yoav Gallant, the Israeli defense minister, told journalists that the Jewish state has intelligence showing that 30 employees of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East\u00a0(UNRWA) took part in Hamas\u2019s Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

The minister shared the names and photos of 12 UNRWA employees, whom Israel had previously said took part in the Oct. 7 attack, in the press briefing. The 12 include Faisal al-Naami, an UNRWA social worker who Israel says was visually identified in Israeli territory on Oct. 7 and was involved in kidnapping a soldier from the town of Be\u2019eri.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another, Ala Jouda, is an UNRWA Arabic religion teacher who is also a company commander in Hamas\u2019s Nuseirat Battalion. He was arrested in Israeli territory.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Gallant, 1,468 of UNRWA\u2019s 13,000 staff members in Gaza are members of Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad.<\/span><\/p>\n

Israel first\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0in January that 12 UNRWA employees had taken part in the Oct. 7 attacks. That prompted 15 countries, including the United States, to announce that they were cutting off funding to the aid agency.<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to the allegations, the United Nations launched an independent \u201creview group\u201d to assess whether UNRWA is maintaining its neutrality and responding appropriately to alleged breaches of that neutrality.<\/span><\/p>\n

UNRWA critics\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0JNS that the panel, which includes organizations that praised South Africa\u2019s claim that Israel is committing genocide, is inadequate to fix the problems with UNRWA.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a farce, a desperate scheme to save UNRWA,\u201d said Rich Goldberg, a senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, who studies international organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe United Nations does not recognize Hamas or Islamic Jihad as terrorist organizations, and this secretary-general has proven himself biased against Israel,\u201d Goldberg told JNS. \u201cUNRWA\u2019s time has come to an end. The only reform that will protect U.S. taxpayers is ending UNRWA.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
