Gallant praises US for pausing funding to UN agency for Palestinian refugees

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant hails the US decision to pause funding for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees over allegations some of its employees took part in the Hamas-led October 7 terror onslaught, calling the move “an important step in holding UNRWA accountable.”

“Major changes need to take place so that international efforts, funds and humanitarian initiatives don’t fuel Hamas terrorism and the murder of Israelis,” Gallant writes on the X platform. “Terrorism under the guise of humanitarian work is a disgrace to the UN and the principles it claims to represent.”
