"Israel Accuses UNRWA Workers of Ties to Hamas, UN Agency Warns of Coordinated Effort to Halt Operations"

Israel's military claims that over 450 employees of the U.N. aid agency UNRWA in Gaza are "military operatives" from Hamas and other armed groups, and has shared this intelligence with the United Nations. This has led to a diplomatic dispute and funding pause for UNRWA, with the United States and other countries halting their support. UNRWA has welcomed the information for an ongoing U.N. investigation, while Palestinian leaders accuse Israel of a political attack and call for the agency's funding to be restored. Israel has pledged to continue its offensive until it eliminates Hamas and secures the release of over 100 Israeli hostages still in Gaza.
