Israel has banned the United Nations Relief and Works Agency from operating within its borders because it has rightly concluded that it doesn’t need to cooperate with an agency that sympathizes with and employs terrorists who want to kill Israeli civilians.
The UNRWA has a long history of employing terrorists and openly telling people that it doesn’t care that it probably employs terrorists. Sure enough, multiple UNRWA employees took part in the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks against Israel that killed 1,200 civilians, and Israel recently killed Fateh Sherif Abu el Amin, a Hamas commander in Lebanon, who had been employed by the UNRWA up until a suspension in March. In the aftermath of the Oct. 7 attacks, it was also revealed that the UNRWA’s headquarters in Gaza was housing a Hamas military compound underneath it.
