Netanyahu tells UN envoys UNRWA is ‘totally infiltrated’ by Hamas, must be replaced
2024-02-01
[IsraelTimes] PM says a humanitarian agency is needed in Gaza, but UNRWA can’t play role, after employees accused of taking part in Hamas-led Oct. 7 massacre

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that the UN agency for Paleostinian refugees has been "totally infiltrated" by the Hamas

terror group, after several countries suspended funding after Israeli accused UNRWA staffers of having participated in the October 7 massacre.

"UNRWA is totally infiltrated with Hamas," Netanyahu told a meeting of UN ambassadors in Jerusalem, adding that "we need to get other UN agencies and other aid agencies replacing UNRWA."

Netanyahu’s comments came as UNRWA said it was "extremely important" to conduct an independent investigation into Israeli allegations that 12 of its employees were involved in the October 7 Hamas onslaught against Israel.

Following these allegations important donors — among them Britannia, Germany, Japan, and the United States — have announced their suspension of aid to UNRWA, which serves as a key lifeline for Paleostinians living in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
"It (UNRWA) has been in the service of Hamas, in its schools and many other things," Netanyahu said at the meeting, video footage of which was released by the government press office.

"I say this with great regret because we hoped that there would be an objective and constructive body to offer aid. We need such a body today in Gaza, but UNRWA is not that body."

Despite Netanyahu’s remarks, a senior Israeli official told The Times of Israel Tuesday that it is not in Israel’s interests for UNRWA to cease operations during the war, as it "could cause a humanitarian catastrophe that would force Israel to halt its fighting against Hamas," but in the long term, the agency should be booted from the Strip.
