U.S. Inspector General report confirms that more than 100 current and former United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) employees took part in the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre. The attack killed over 1,200 Israelis.
Critics long warned that U.S. taxpayer money fuels a Hamas‑infested UNRWA. President Donald Trump amplified the findings on his platform.
Democratic Senate hopeful Abdul El‑Sayed of Michigan openly backs restoring U.S. funding to UNRWA. He urges an immediate reinvestment in foreign aid despite the damning evidence.
The El‑Sayed campaign declined to answer The Daily Wire’s question. It also refused to say whether it still supports using taxpayer dollars for UNRWA after the report.
Referral documents show former UNRWA school teachers who doubled as Hamas operatives. Among them, a teacher allegedly kidnapped a civilian, another held hostages, and a school principal directed terror‑cell communications; a deceased social worker’s debarment proposal was halted because he was already dead.
USAID’s “Operation Stop the Carousel” investigation has uncovered widespread obstruction. UN agencies such as UNICEF and the World Health Organization refuse to hand over employee records and payroll data, shielding suspected Hamas fighters.
Seized Hamas military files reveal senior UNRWA staff—principals, deputy directors and teachers—served in the Qassam Brigades and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. UNRWA facilities functioned as weapon depots and hideouts, a fact Gaza residents openly acknowledge.
UN Watch Director Hillel Neuer told Congress in January 2024 that UNRWA teachers routinely call for the murder of Jews. They also produce textbooks glorifying terrorism and incite antisemitism.
American tax dollars have systematically funded radicalization. From 3,000‑strong teacher group chats celebrating the October 7 attacks to classroom materials that demonize Israelis, the funding fuels extremist ideology.
Washington Calls for UNRWA’s End
State Department officials and key lawmakers now demand that UNRWA be permanently dismantled. They reject any further U.S. financial involvement.
