The Biden administration suspended funding for the UN agency that aids Palestinian refugees over Israeli allegations that some of its staff joined the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas militants on southern Israel.
The US is “extremely troubled” by allegations that 12 staff with the UN Relief and Works Agency, or UNRWA, may have been involved in the attack, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement. “There must be complete accountability for anyone who participated in the heinous attacks of October 7,” he said.
