UNRWA, a United Nations organization, is under scrutiny for employing individuals with ties to Hamas, a terrorist organization. It has been revealed that UNRWA had a Hamas terrorist on its payroll and was informed by Israel about this, yet took no action. The U.S. Congress has banned funding to UNRWA, but there are discussions about lifting this ban. Some officials, including members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, have strongly opposed any funding to UNRWA, citing its connections to terrorism. Additionally, there are concerns about the UK government's decision to fund UNRWA, which some view as support for a life-threatening organization. There are grave concerns about the number of proven terrorists who are UNRWA employees that were involved in the October 7th atrocities.
