Israel Arrests UN Gaza Employee for Aiding Hamas
(Jerusalem Post) Wahid Abdullah Burash, 38, an employee of the UN Development Program in Gaza, has been arrested for using his position to aid Hamas military activities, the Israel Security Agency announced on Tuesday. In 2015, Burash helped build a naval marina for use by Hamas in northern Gaza. Burash also convinced his manager at UNDP to give preference in rehabilitation projects to areas inhabited by Hamas operatives. When weapons or tunnel openings were discovered in homes being worked on as part of UNDP projects, UN procedure to report such findings was not followed. The interrogation of Burash uncovered additional Hamas operatives embedded in other aid organizations. Burash also provided information on Hamas tunnels and weapons warehouses.
