An Israeli spokesperson said on Monday that he welcomed the suspension of donations to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and welcomed an internal review of the agency that found it directly involved in Palestinian terrorism against Israel.
Early Monday morning, European Union announced The audit of UNRWA’s funding comes after nearly a dozen other countries, including the United States, cut funding. Last week, it was revealed that more than a dozen UNRWA personnel took part in the October 7 terrorist attack, apparently taking part in the massacre at Kibbutz Beeri, and abducting Israelis and holding them hostage.
Ilana Stein, a spokeswoman for the National Directorate of Public Diplomacy, said at a press conference on Monday that although these early warnings were ignored, Israel has continued to demonstrate evidence of extremist teaching in UNRWA schools over the years. He pointed out that he had shown it.
President Donald Trump suspended U.S. contributions to UNRWA in 2019. President Joe Biden reinstated them in 2021, but suspended them last week following news of UNRWA’s involvement in terrorism.

Stein noted that 88 humanitarian trucks arrived in Gaza the previous day, including 440 tons of water, 210 tons of medical supplies, two fuel tankers and four cooking gas tankers. He did not mention the growing protests by hostages’ families and supporters at Israel’s Kerem Shalom intersection. There, demonstrators are trying to block humanitarian aid to Gaza until the hostages are freed.
Breitbart News asked if and how Israel intends to implement last week’s ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to punish so-called “incitement” to genocide. In response to a question, Stein said the ruling was “consistent with our thinking.” I’ve done it so far. ”
