We’re doing something big, but I need your help. Tomorrow we are convening a world summit to end UNRWA and find alternative solutions for development aid without terrorism. I need 100,000 signatures by tomorrow for the petition to Guterres. Sign & share: https://t.co/BLxELXb8lE
Blinken is 100% wrong. I researched this for over a year with many State Department lawyers. There is nothing illegal about Jews living in their biblical homeland. Indeed, Undersecretary of State Eugene Rostow, also the Dean of the Yale Law School (who negotiated UNSCR 242), stated that Israel has the best legal claim to Judea and Samaria.
For Blinken to announce this in the middle of a war and when the Jewish Sabbath already has begun in Israel is unconscionable.
Today's news is the last nail on the coffin for unrwa. No coming back from unrwa HQ hiding and powering hamas servers in massive tunnels directly below. Get wrecked, unrwa.
- UNRWA did not know what is under its headquarters in Gaza.
- UNRWA is made aware of reports through the media regarding a tunnel under the UNRWA Headquarters in Gaza.
- UNRWA staff left its headquarters in Gaza City on 12 October following the Israeli evacuation orders and as bombardment intensified in the area.
- We have not used that compound since we left it nor are we aware of any activity that may have taken place there.
- We understand, through media reporting, that the Israeli Army has deployed troops within the UNRWA Headquarters in Gaza City.
- We are therefore unable to confirm or otherwise comment on these reports.
- In times of “no active conflict” UNRWA inspects inside its premises every quarter, the last inspection for the UNRWA Gaza premises was completed in September 2023.
- UNRWA is a Human development and humanitarian organisation that does not have the military and security expertise nor the capacity to undertake military inspections of what is or might be under its premises.
- In the past, whenever suspicious cavity was found close to or under UNRWA premises, protest letters were promptly filed to parties to the conflict, including both the de facto authorities in Gaza (Hamas) and the Israeli authorities. The matter was consistently reported in annual reports presented to the General Assembly and made public.
- These recent media reports merit an independent inquiry that is currently not possible to undertake given Gaza is an active war zone.
- The Israeli Authorities have not informed UNRWA officially about the alleged tunnel.
Anyone who believes that @UNRWA is doing important work in Gaza and must continue to be funded needs to watch this 8-minute video testimony of @HillelNeuer@UNWatch before Congress today.
It's not a few bad apples. The whole bushel is rotten to the core.
BREAKING: The “few bad apples” line pushed by the UN has just been obliterated. The Wall Street Journal front page is reporting that an estimated 1,200 Unrwa employees in Gaza are actual “operatives” of Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and about half have close relatives who belong to the Islamist terrorist organizations, according to Israeli intelligence estimates shared with the U.S. government.
The report said 23% of Unrwa’s male employees—the agency has a total staff of 12,000 in Gaza—took active part in the Hamas organization’s military or political framework, a higher percentage than the average of 15% for adult males in Gaza.
The information in the Israeli intelligence reports is based on sensitive signals intelligence as well as cellphone tracking data, interrogations of captured Hamas gunmen and documents recovered from dead terrorists.
Nearly half of all Unrwa employees—an estimated 49%—also had close relatives with official ties to Hamas and other terrorist groups.
The Oct. 7 intelligence reports seen by the Wall Street Journal identified an Unrwa Arabic teacher who was also a Hamas terrorist commander and took part in a terrorist attack on Kibbutz Be’eri, where 97 people were murdered, and about 26 people were kidnapped and taken as hostages to Gaza.
Another Unrwa employee, described in the dossier as an Unrwa social worker, played a role in absconding with the body of a dead Israeli soldier, which was taken to Gaza, the reports said. He also coordinated trucks and munitions distributions for Hamas before being killed.

"I refuse to make this injury the story of my life. I will come back to sing and act and with God's help, I will also return to fight for my country.
The Israeli people are the strongest people in the world. It will take time but we will win this war.”
@FaudaOfficial star Idan Amedi was seriously injured in Gaza two weeks ago.
Today he was released.
A country full of heroes.
Yoval Lopez, father of 3 from Alon Shevut fell defending our land. Originally from Peru, he was part of the Bnei Moshe-known as Inca Jews-who emigrated en masse in 1990 after converting to Judaism
The famous convert Rut said "where you die I die"
Sadly we are living her legacy
Five days ago, we exposed a Telegram group of 3,000 UNRWA teachers in Gaza replete with praise of the Hamas massacre of October 7th.
UNRWA cast doubt that they work for them. The UN spox disparaged us.
This 🧵 will show how the group admins and members are indeed part of UNRWA.
This young man went thru actual hell on 10/7 & lived to tell about it.
Itamar is 22 & I know he will recover.
Please listen to a tiny piece of his story.

@adamconover I agree with above - absurd that the greatest fear is Pals "returning to their homes". Also, 7M Israelis and 7M Pals? Untrue. Adam's qs try to challenge, but by the end Nathan is justifying Oct 7. Hamas motivation-iran? $? Jihad? Def not liberation bc you can see how that is goin
