The UN said Monday that 9 of the 19 employees of its Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) who were being investigated after Israel's accusations of collusion with Hamas could have been involved in the October 7, 2023 attacks.
The Department of Internal Affairs (OIOS), in charge of the investigation, concluded that in nine cases the evidence at its disposal “They indicate that UNRWA employees may have been involved in the armed attacks” by Hamas, according to UN spokesman Farhan Haq.
The spokesperson specified that the conclusion, which refers to a probability, is due to the fact that OIOS “has not been able to independently authenticate the information that has been provided to it and that was in the hands of the Israeli authorities regarding the evidence against UNRWA employees.
The evidence supporting the accusations against those nine employees, “could, if authenticated and corroborated, provide a factual basis for concluding that UNRWA staff members may have engaged in conduct punishable under UNRWA regulations and standards.”He said.
“Evidence obtained by OIOS indicates that UNRWA personnel may have been involved in the armed attacks of October 7, 2023. The employment of such persons will be terminated in the interest of the agency«, he indicates.
The investigating body highlighted that The UN does not have criminal jurisdiction over its employees and that the investigation was administrative, with disciplinary sanctions as a tool to respond to any misconduct, violations of the organization and administrative law.
He also revealed that the investigation report It was delivered on July 31 directly to the Secretary General, António Guterres, including a summary of the findings and conclusions to assist him in taking action on the 19 designated employees, and that “will not be made public.”
The nine cases in question, all men, as specified by spokesman Haq, have been “referred for a decision” on possible sanctions.
For the investigation, OIOS has made visits to Israel to “receive and review” information in its custody, and to Amman (Jordan), to do the same with information in UNRWA custody, as well as reviewing data on emails, UNRWA vehicles, data published in the media and communications with member states.
In January, Israel accused twelve UNRWA agents of participating in Hamas attacks - a figure that increased to nineteen in April - after which numerous donors suspended their funding of the agency, a decision that has been reversed by all but United States.

WE ARE PREPARED FOR THE THREAT OF THE DARK AND GENOCIDAL IRANIAN REGIME
Judging in absentia is a necessary and urgent law.
The director of unrwa must be the first. He can get his lawyer or the state provides him with one.
If convicted, red alerts are issued. If he is sentenced to death, a reward is offered on his head (not literally)
All unrwa buildings must be destroyed, including schools.
DAMN UN, WHEN ISRAEL TOLD THE TRUTH YOU SAID IT'S A LIE, YOU SEE HOW FALSE AND LIARS YOU ARE DAMN UN, A SALIVA WHEN YOU THROW UP FALLS ON YOUR FACE. LONG LIVE ISRAEL.
DAMN THE UN WHAT'S WRONG THAT YOU ARE CONFESSING NOW??? AFTER MANIPULATION OF ISRAEL THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, WHAT ISRAEL LIES, NOW IT'S LATE TO CONFESS, LONG LIVE ISRAEL.

THE IRANIAN SPORTSMAN'S NAME IS SAID MOLAI, WHO THE TERRORIST AYATOLAH HAD FORBIDDEN FROM PLAYING WITH HIS JEWISH COLLEAGUE AND HE ESCAPED FROM IRAN, AND PLAYING WITH THE NATIONAL TEAM OF MONGOLIA, LONG LIVE ISRAEL.
With the simple fact it is recognized that the brand new UN is involved, that is why the arrogant words of Guterres, the main person responsible, "the boss is responsible for what his subordinates do" when the ICJ will judge him or they will act crazy for being on his side.
Israel must eliminate, like any terrorist, anyone who is accredited to UNRWA in its territory, the West Bank and Gaza.
The hypocritical UN, starting with its Secretary General who is a friend of the Hamas terrorists; Well, now it is coming to accept that what the government of Israel said, regarding UNRWA, is true.
I meant...that UNRWA is full of Hamas terrorists is true.
OF COURSE I'M NOT SAYING ALL OF THEM BUT THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE FINANCED BY TERRORIST AYATOLAS, ESPECIALLY GUTIÉRREZ. LONG LIVE ISRAEL.
