For Further Reference:

To Repeat: Designate the UNRWA a Terrorist Organization:  Andrew C. McCarthy, National Review, Oct. 29, 2024 — The Harris campaign, the Biden-Harris administration, the left-wing British government, and, naturally, the United Nations and other Hamas sympathizers in the “international community” are up in arms because Israel’s Knesset has passed legislation recognizing the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) as what it is: an adjunct of Hamas — the Palestinian jihadist branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, which has been designated a terrorist organization under U.S. law for nearly 30 years.
 
Cry Me a River, UNRWA:  Seth Mandel, Commentary Magazine, Oct. 29, 2024 — When 84-year-old Ditza Heiman was released from Hamas captivity and ready to tell her story, she revealed that she was held in Gaza for 53 days under the watchful eye of a teacher from the United Nations agency in Gaza, UNRWA.
 
Israeli Official: UNRWA Already Reduced in Gaza, Knesset Vote Only Strengthens Process Lazar Berman, Times of Israel, Oct. 29, 2024 — Israeli official: UNRWA already reduced in Gaza, Knesset vote only strengthens process.
 
Israel Yet to Release Damaging Info on UNRWA Despite Evidence Ariel Kahana, Israel Hayom, Oct. 18, 2024 — Several months after conclusive evidence was found linking the UNRWA agency to Hamas, Israel’s political leadership has still not directed the IDF and its intelligence agencies to release the “damaging materials” on the UN refugee agency. This was confirmed to Israel Hayom by a well-placed source.
 
Int’l Ire at Israel for Outlawing UNRWA in Jerusalem, Gaza, West Bank:  Tovah Lazaroff and Eliav Breuer, Jerusalem Post, Oct. 29, 2024 — The international community lashed out at Israel on Monday night after the Knesset overwhelmingly passed two bills that would effectively shut down the United Nations Relief and Works Agency operations in east Jerusalem, Gaza, and the West Bank.
