The United States on Friday suspended funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, the humanitarian body that works with Palestinians, in light of allegations that 12 UNRWA employees were involved in the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks in Israel.

The announcement from the U.S. State Department came after UNRWA announced that it had terminated several employees in light of new information that Israel provided to the agency detailing the connections of those UNRWA employees to the attacks.

[Good news, but it comes late and is not exactly sufficient. We should permanently end funding for UN operations in Gaza, as they have become hopelessly infiltrated by Hamas and PIJ. The extensive military tunnels built under Gaza by aid money give testimony to UNRWA’s corruption, or incompetence, or both. — Ed]
