During the course of its campaign in Gaza, the IDF found evidence, including lists of Hamas members, that hundreds of members of UNRWA were also members of Hamas, and some had even taken part in the October 7, 2023 attack on the Nova Music Festival and more than 20 kibbutzim. They also discovered the extensive […]
If UNRWA Collapses, the ‘Palestinian Refugees’ Will be Looked After by UNHRC
UNRWA has been mired in scandal these last few years. In 2019, its Commissioner-General, Pierre Krähenbühl, resigned after becoming embroiled in a scandal involving accusations of nepotism, abuses of authority, and having an affair with an employee who did no discernible work but traveled around the world with him, an animated merkin flying first-class and […]
Hamas’ slain Lebanon chief was UNRWA teacher, UNRWA top dog claims he didn’t know
Lazzarini’s claims of ignorance, and of the purity of UNRWA, strain credulity well beyond the breaking point. “IDF strike kills Hamas’s Lebanon chief, an UNRWA teacher; 3 PFLP men killed in Beirut,” by Emanuel Fabian, Joshua Davidovich, and Jacob Magid, Times of Israel, September 30, 2024: Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon and central Beirut overnight […]
UN Accuses Israel of Denying Aid as Hamas Fires on Aid Crossing
It’s not that they don’t know the truth, it’s that they are deliberately lying. Hamas opened fire near the Keren Shalom crossing that had been used to bring in aid to Gaza. The attack was predictably launched from near a civilian shelter in Rafah. Meanwhile, Philippe Lazzarini, the head of UNRWA, whose employees have been […]
UNRWA head: ‘Our employees are part of the social fabric in Gaza,’ and Hamas part of that social fabric
UNRWA’s link to Hamas has been confirmed recently, but now comes a stunning admission from UNRWA’s commissioner general: Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA’s commissioner general, said, “Our employees are part of the social fabric in Gaza and its ecosystem. And as part of the social fabric in Gaza, you also have Hamas.” No Western state should be […]
Israelis Call for UNRWA Chief to Resign
.@UNLazzarini it’s not that you didn’t know, it’s that you didn’t WANT to know. We exposed terror tunnels under UNRWA schools and supplied evidence that Hamas’ exploits UNRWA. We implored you to carry out a comprehensive search of all UNRWA facilities in Gaza. But not only did… https://t.co/bJsD66OwoO — Ambassador Gilad Erdan גלעד ארדן (@giladerdan1) […]
The UNRWA Degringolade: And Then There Were…
While UNRWA’s Director-General Philippe Lazzarini bitterly laments that donor nations dare to demand that his agency investigate those staff members who participated with Hamas in committing atrocities on October 7, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres pleads for an immediate resumption of aid to UNRWA because “the situation in Gaza is dire,” every day another country […]
Head of UNRWA Deplores Aid Suspension
Philippe Lazzarini, the lavishly-paid Director-General of UNRWA, is alarmed at the response of Western donors to the revelations about twelve agency staffers taking part with Hamas in the pogrom on October 7. Already nine countries have announced that they are suspending aid to UNRWA until such time as the matter of Hamas collaborators in its […]
UNRWA Still Teaching Hate, and the Biden Administration Doesn’t Care
Oh, it’s nothing new, I know. Nothing surprising. What would be surprising would be if UNRWA actually did what It has promised to do for many years — to clean its textbooks of putrid antisemism. But it’s always the same script: a concerned NGO brings forth a meticulous compilation of antisemitic texts and study guides […]
