Executive Council of Australian Jewry Co-CEO Peter Wertheim says the latest allegations involving more than 100 Hamas-linked UNRWA employees prove the agency has failed to address longstanding concerns.
“This is not the first time that UNRWA’s been embroiled in a scandal about its links with Hamas,” Mr Wertheim told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers.
“Two years ago, we had revelations that 12 UNRWA employees had been engaged in the terrorist attacks in Israel.
“UNRWA sacked those people while its funding had been suspended from Australia and many other countries, and then the funding was restored, and it was back to business as usual.
“Now we see what business as usual looks like. We’ve had 101 Hamas-linked UNRWA employees.”
