Israeli envoy: UN’s UNRWA probe a disgrace, ignored info on many more with terror ties

Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, rejects the UN’s probe of UNRWA that found nine employees may have been involved in the October 7 attacks, calling it “a disgrace” and “too little too late.”
Erdan says the probe “ignored the thousands of of agency employees involved in Hamas terrorism… Israel gave the UN precise details on over 100 UNRWA employees who are members of Hamas.”
In light of the information Israel provided the UN, he says, “the findings of the probe are another disgrace for the UN, which continues to refuse to accept reality.
“If that’s not enough, recently the secretary general decided to give UNRWA-Gaza the 2023 UN Secretary General’s Award. The secretary general should resign and UNRWA should be shut down.”
