A new report alleges that the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) engages in routine meetings and partnerships with Lebanese and Gazan terror groups, including Hamas. The report accuses UNRWA officials of knowingly allowing these groups to infiltrate the agency's workforce, indoctrinate children, and install military infrastructure near UNRWA facilities. It further claims that UNRWA complies with Hamas' demands, hindering efforts to introduce biometric identification, establish an ethics code, and suspend employees for violating neutrality.
Officials of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency meet “routinely” with Lebanese and Gaza n terror groups , “mutually praise each other for ‘cooperation’ and describe each other as ‘partners.
The cooperation between UNRWA and terror groups involves the U.N. agency complying with the demands of the terror organizations, according to the report. A December 2024 report revealed that officials from the U.N. Relief and Works Agency meet “routinely” with Lebanese and Gazan terror groups, “mutually praise each other for ‘cooperation’ and describe each other as ‘partners.’”One of many examples that the report cites is a deal that Lazzarini made with Islamic terror groups in May 2024 at a meeting in Beirut.
“Contrary to its claims of robust neutrality mechanisms, UNRWA for years allowed al-Sharif to occupy a senior position overseeing thousands of UNRWA teachers and students,” it adds. Another example in the report is Leni Stenseth, a former UNRWA deputy commissioner-general, going to Gaza in June 2021 “to kowtow before“Hamas had been angry with UNRWA after its then Gaza director Matthias Schmale, an ardent supporter of the Palestinian narrative, unwittingly admitted in a TV interview that Israeli strikes on Hamas, during the May 2021 war, were ‘very precise,’” per the report.
