A report by UN Watch reveals deep ties between the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (“UNRWA”) and Islamist terrorist organisations, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Western nations, including the US, have funded UNRWA with billions of dollars, which is being used to employ terrorists and build infrastructure for hate and violence.
The report calls for UNRWA’s dismantlement, citing its failure to maintain neutrality and its susceptibility to influence from terrorist groups. The United Nations has refused to respond to the report.
UN Goes Silent On Report
The new year has brought no respite for the United Nations and its various agencies – especially UNRWA – with regard to the hits, which keep coming, emphasising its deep ties with Islamist terrorist organisations, according to a recently published report by UN Watch.
The explosive report reveals years of coordination and close collaboration between Islamists and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, up to and including the collusion of at least its two most recent commissioners-general – current head Phillippe Lazzarini, and previous chief Pierre Krähenbühl, who held the role from 2014 to 2019.
The report starts strongly, arguing how despite its claims to be a humanitarian agency, UNRWA “has forged an unholy alliance with Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other terrorist organisations.” It continues that this relationship has allowed Hamas unprecedented influence in the policies and practices of a “UN agency with 30,000 employees, and a $1.5 billion annual budget that is funded primarily by Western states.” Indeed, UNRWA is the largest of all the UN agencies.
UN Watch called for UNRWA’s dismantlement, describing the organisation as “a conduit for terrorism and a facilitator of violence in the Middle East.”
“UNRWA’s failure to maintain neutrality, combined with its susceptibility to influence from terrorist groups, undermines its credibility as a humanitarian agency and perpetuates conflict in the region,” the group said. “It is time for donors to reconsider their support, dismantle the Agency, and seek alternative frameworks to provide effective aid to Palestinians in need.”
And UN Watch’s report was not mere speculation, it also brought the evidence. It listed dozens of instances – with images obtained from open sources – of senior UNRWA officials meeting with terrorist leaders.
