According to Israeli intelligence representatives, at least 190 employees of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA) participated in the attack by terrorists of the Palestinian group Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023.

What is known about the involvement of UN representatives in Hamas

Journalists of the publication refer to a six-page Israeli intelligence report, which indicates that all UNRWA members were members of the Palestinian terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

The report indicates that at least 11 employees of the UN agency belonged to Hamas and Islamic Jihad at the same time.

Israeli intelligence also provides their names and photos.

In particular, one of the UNRWA workers, who was simultaneously working at an educational institution in the Gaza Strip, helped his son capture an Israeli woman.

One social worker took the body of an Israeli officer to Gaza and coordinated the movement of terrorists.

Another social worker was seen in the massacre at Kibbutz Beyeri, where one in ten residents were killed.

A fourth UNRWA representative was involved in the massacre at a music festival in Reims, where more than 360 people were killed, and an attack on a military base nearby.

The report said that among those, 190 Palestinians were eliminated IDF fighters — at least two.

What is known about Israel's reaction

Israel has officially provided data on 12 employees of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA), who may have participated in the attack by Hamas militants on Israel on October 7, 2023, when 1,200 people were killed and 253 were kidnapped and taken to the Gaza Strip.

An investigation has begun. UNRWA said they had released the suspects, and the UN promised to punish the guilty. UNRWA funding has been suspended pending an investigation.

Some countries have suspended funding for the UN agency in the Gaza Strip. Employees suspected of attacking Israel are the United States, Great Britain, Australia, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, Finland, Switzerland and Germany. The European Union has not yet stopped funding, but it may depend on the results of the investigation.
