Official Statements

Overnight, the United Nations admitted that “the evidence was sufficient to conclude” that nine staff members of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency “may have been involved in the seventh of October attacks,” resulting in their employment termination.

Zionist Federation of Australia President, Jeremy Leibler, said “with the United Nations own findings, it could not be clearer that UNRWA employees were involved in the barbaric slaughter and kidnapping of Jews on October 7.

While it’s important for aid to reach those in need, any funding that ultimately strengthens Hamas, as it has previously, will help to extend the war and the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza.”

CEO of the ZFA, Alon Cassuto, said “The Australian Government lifted its pause on UNRWA funding in March with the stated goal of ensuring the integrity of UNRWA’s operations and helping to ‘rebuild confidence’; today’s revelations show there is still a very long way to go.”
