"UN Report: 12 Employees Accused of Involvement in Hamas Attack"

Israel accuses 12 UN employees of participating in Hamas' assault, prompting the US and other countries to freeze funding for UNRWA, the agency for Palestinian refugees. The UN condemned the allegations, fired nine accused workers, and initiated an external review. Israel's tensions with UNRWA have been ongoing, with Israel claiming Hamas uses the agency's facilities for attacks. The funding freeze threatens UNRWA's operations, which are crucial for Palestinians in Gaza, as cease-fire talks and conflict continue in the region.
