Israel's accusations that many employees of the main U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees are linked to terrorist organizations have not been substantiated, as per an independent review commissioned by the United Nations. The review did not address Israel's specific claims regarding the involvement of UNRWA employees in the Hamas-led assault on Israel. While Israel has not provided evidence of ties to militant groups among UNRWA workers, the review emphasized that lack of evidence does not necessarily mean there is none. The report also highlighted weaknesses in UNRWA's vetting processes and implementation of neutrality guidelines. Despite calls from Israel to shut down the agency, the report stressed UNRWA's crucial role in providing humanitarian aid and essential services to Palestinians. It made recommendations for improving the agency's neutrality and called for continued support from donors. Several countries that had suspended funding over the allegations have since resumed support, while the United States is awaiting the results of U.N. investigations before deciding on resuming donations to UNRWA.
