"US Suspends Funding to UN Agency Amid Allegations of Staff Involvement in Hamas Attack"

The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, fired several Gaza staffers suspected of involvement in a Hamas attack on Israel, prompting the U.S. to temporarily halt its funding. The agency's director terminated contracts and ordered an investigation after Israel provided information alleging their role in the attack. The U.S. State Department expressed concern and paused additional funding, while the U.N. Secretary-General announced an independent review of the agency. Amid the ongoing conflict, thousands of Palestinians fled as fighting intensified, and the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to prevent death and destruction in Gaza.
