In August 2024, the U.N.’s own Office of Internal Oversight Services concluded that nine UNRWA employees participated in the October 7 attacks.

But the concerns extend far beyond those nine employees.

A sweeping investigation by Geneva-based UN Watch identified 490 profiles and 889 connections involving UNRWA personnel, terrorist figures, extremist organizations, and institutional networks.

According to UN Watch, its findings include:

• Employees affiliated with Hamas and other terrorist organizations.

• Educators glorifying violence and encouraging extremism.

• UNRWA facilities exploited for terrorist purposes.

• Union leaders holding influential positions within Hamas.

These connections reveal systemic weaknesses in UNRWA’s neutrality and oversight.

JEWISH LEADERS CONFRONT THE UN OVER ANTISEMITISM

But UNRWA’s direct involvement in the brutal Oct. 7 attacks is only part of problem. The U.N. as an organization has an ugly history of antisemitism and hatred for Israel.

In September, approximately 1,000 demonstrators gathered outside U.N. headquarters in New York City, demanding action against antisemitism as world leaders convened for the General Assembly.

Among them were major Jewish organizations and survivors of the October 7 attacks.

William Daroff, CEO of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, accused the U.N. of institutional antisemitism and repeatedly singling out Israel for condemnation.

The gathering also included Shalev Biton, a survivor of the Nova massacre, alongside Younes Alkarnawi, the Bedouin-Israeli who helped save him and others that day.

Survivors of Hamas’ atrocities stood outside the world’s foremost international organization, calling attention to antisemitism and demanding accountability.

And right now, we have the chance to stand alongside them, demanding the same accountability.
