"Sen. Marsha Blackburn Calls for Investigation into Alleged UN Worker's Israeli Hostage Situation"

Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn has called for a United Nations investigation into allegations made by an Israeli journalist that a UNRWA employee held an Israeli hostage in their attic during the recent conflict in Gaza. Blackburn has demanded a response from the US Ambassador to the UN and the UNRWA Commissioner-General. The UNRWA has called the claims "unsubstantiated" and requested that the journalist delete the post. Blackburn has criticized the UN for its alleged complicity in Hamas' terrorism and called for the defunding of UNRWA. The UN has faced previous criticism for employing educators who promote anti-Semitism and for the discovery of explosives hidden under UNRWA boxes in a residential home.
