An independent review conducted by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna found no evidence to support Israel’s claims that employees of the UN relief agency UNRWA are associated with terrorist organizations. The review was commissioned by UN Secretary-General António Guterres in response to Israel’s allegations.
An independent review led by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna has concluded that Israel has not provided sufficient evidence to support its allegations that employees of the UN relief agency UNRWA are members of terrorist organizations. The review was launched following a series of accusations by Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, who claimed that UNRWA was being used as a cover for terrorist activities in the Gaza Strip. However, the review found that there was no evidence to support these claims. The report also stated that UNRWA plays a vital role in providing humanitarian assistance to Palestinian refugees and that any attempt to undermine the agency’s work would have serious consequences for the region.
