"US Intelligence Challenges Israeli Allegations of UNRWA-Hamas Ties"

A US intelligence assessment of Israel's claims that UN aid agency staff members participated in a Hamas attack on October 7th found some accusations credible but unverifiable, while casting doubt on wider links to militant groups. The report mentioned Israeli bias and lack of evidence for broader collaboration with Hamas. The UNRWA, crucial for aid delivery in Gaza, faced funding cuts after Israel accused its employees of ties to Hamas. Meanwhile, a separate UN report expressed alarm over allegations of sexual assault and degrading treatment of Palestinian women and girls by male Israeli army officers.
