A United Nations agency handling Palestinian aid ought to be closed down for good due to its long-standing connections to the terrorist group Hamas, a former Israeli lawmaker testified.

The U.N. Relief and Works Agency has faced renewed scrutiny from Congress over its entrenched terrorism ties after the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack against the Jewish state of Israel, when more than 1,200 people were killed. Dr. Einat Wilf, who served in the Israeli Knesset for the Labor and Independence parties, said earlier this month before the assembly’s foreign policy and information committee that UNRWA’s presence in Gaza paved the way for the massacre last year, All Israel News reported on Wednesday.
