UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres meets with the head of internal UN investigations to ensure that an inquiry into Israeli accusations that staff at a UN Palestinian aid agency took part in Hamas’s October 7 massacre “will be done swiftly and as efficiently as possible,” a UN spokesperson says.
Guterres has “been engaging with the UNRWA leadership and donors to UNRWA” and will host a meeting with major UNRWA donors in New York tomorrow, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric tells reporters.
