US report urges UN agency's shutdown over Hamas ties, Oct 7 terror links
Share this @internewscast.com

The U.S. State Department issued a devastating report to Congress on the terrorism-plagued U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) that provides aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, determining that the agency needs to be abolished and is beyond reform.

According to a U.S. State Department public assessment to Congress that was independently obtained by Fox News Digital, “The Administration has determined UNRWA is irredeemably compromised and now seeks its full dismantlement.”

Former Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant said in February 2024 that dozens of individuals employed by UNRWA were directly involved in the atrocities carried out against Israeli civilians on Oct. 7.

Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon told the U.N. in January that UNRWA must close its operations in Jerusalem.

In August 2024, Fox News Digital reported the U.N. fired nine employees from UNRWA who likely participated in the Hamas slaughter of 1,200 people, including more than 30 Americans, on Oct. 7 in southern Israel.

Israel’s Knesset (Parliament) overwhelmingly banned UNRWA because of its reported support for Hamas terrorism. The U.S. has classified Hamas as a foreign terrorist organization. Israel, U.S. lawmakers, and watchdog organizations have also provided evidence to the U.N. over the years that UNRWA glorifies Palestinian terrorism and antisemitism. 

Bill Deere, Director of UNRWA’s office in Washington, dismissed the report, telling Fox News Digital that it “is not fresh news rather an attempt to sell ‘old wine in a new bottle.’ We understand the report is based upon selective congressional leaks of a government document which contains no analysis simply rhetoric. The rhetoric itself is drawn from Representative Waltz’s recent confirmation hearing and a September 2018 CNN news story,” he said.
