The UK government is "appalled" by allegations UNRWA staff were involved in 7 October attacks.

“The UK is appalled by allegations that UNRWA staff were involved in the 7 October attack against Israel, a heinous act of terrorism that the UK Government has repeatedly condemned,” the UK Foreign Office said in a statement.

“The UK is temporarily pausing any future funding of UNWRA whilst we review these concerning allegations,” it added.

    UNRWA sacked several staff for their part. UK and others rapidly withdraw funding. Where oh where is the same funding withdrawal from Israel? I do not suggest that the 7th October attack is OK. Let’s just make sure that we apply pressure equally.
