Israel will ignore findings of inquiries into Unrwa in Gaza, say diplomats

Israel has heavily criticised UN refugee agency, alleging its staff were implicated in 7 October Hamas attacks

Israeli diplomats have pre-emptively attacked the findings of two inquires into the role of the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency Unrwa in Gaza, on the day that one of the inquiries submitted its interim finding to the United Nations secretary general António Guterres.

Unrwa has come under heavy criticism since Israel accused 12 of its Gaza staff of 13,000 of being implicated in the 7 October Hamas attack on southern Israel. The agency denies the charge and says no solid evidence has been presented to support it.
