(UN Watch) Hillel Neuer - UNRWA's former general counsel James Lindsay told the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Friday: "UNRWA's leadership is incompetent and willfully obstructionist regarding some fundamental reforms. UNRWA has made no serious efforts to avoid hiring terrorists and their supporters from a labor pool that is significantly supportive of terrorists." "It would not be surprising to learn that as many as half of UNRWA's employees were Hamas supporters - of whom some likely would be Hamas members - which is not that different from what the Israeli government alleged....It is simply not true that UNRWA is 'irreplaceable.'...The U.S. ban on funding to UNRWA in favor of funding to other aid organizations should be extended before it expires on 25 March 2025."
