Israel has not proven claims many UNRWA staff are Hamas: World Court

As part of its findings, the International Court of Justice says Israel has failed to show evidence that UNRWA also worked for Hamas as it claimed. “The court finds that Israel has not substantiated its allegations that a significant part of UNRWA’s employees are ‘members of Hamas … or other terrorist factions’,” said ICJ President Yuji Iwasawa. Israel banned UNRWA from operating on Israeli soil after accusing some of its staff of taking part in the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack.
