Israeli Intelligence Alleges U.N. Staff Involvement in Hamas Attack

Israeli intelligence has accused 190 UNRWA staff in Gaza of being members of Hamas or Islamic Jihad, leading to multiple countries halting their funding to the Palestinian aid agency. The accusations include involvement in abductions, killings, and attacks, with names and pictures provided in a six-page dossier. UNRWA denies the allegations and is conducting an investigation, while warning that it may not be able to continue operations in Gaza and across the region beyond February if funding is not resumed. The United Nations has vowed to hold accountable any employees involved in "abhorrent" acts, but urges nations to continue funding UNRWA for humanitarian reasons.
