Israel’s UN ambassador calls on countries who donate to the UN Relief and Works Agency to investigate alleged connections between the organization and the Hamas terrorist group.
In recent weeks, allegations have come to light that Suhail al-Hindi, head of the UNRWA Staff Union in Gaza and the principal of an UNRWA school, as well as Muhammad al-Jamassi, from UNRWA’s engineering department, were elected to the terrorist organization’s political wing.
“In light of these disturbing revelations, it is crucial to conduct a thorough investigation of the organization’s operations in order to ensure that no employee who is involved in terror play any role in UNRWA or the UN,” writes UN Ambassador Danny Danon in a letter to ambassadors from UNRWA-funding countries.
“It is time to put an end to the absurd reality in which UNRWA staff, who are expected to provide humanitarian assistance, are instead acting on behalf of terror organizations,” he says.
