Israel sent UNRWA list of 100 employees who are Hamas terrorists — report
The Foreign Ministry has sent a letter to UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini that lists 100 employees of the UN refugee agency for Palestinians who are allegedly Hamas terrorists, according to the German daily Bild.
The report says the letter states that the names are part of a “broader list” of UN workers who are members of Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, but will not be released publicly “for reasons of confidentiality.”
According to the newspaper, which says the allegations raise fresh questions about Berlin’s funding of the UN agency and notes that the remains of murdered Israeli-German hostage Shani Louk were found in an UNRWA building, Israel is calling for the alleged terrorists to be immediately canned.
