According to a new report from the Washington Free Beacon, a U.S. federal investigation into UNRWA is expected to expand to at least 1,500 UNRWA-linked individuals suspected of terror ties.
The report says the growing probe has intensified discussions in Washington over possible punitive measures against the U.N. agency, including sanctions, stripping UNRWA of certain legal protections, and even a potential foreign terrorist organization designation.
Concerns about UNRWA’s relationship with Hamas are not new. The USAID Office of Inspector General has already reported evidence linking current or former UNRWA staffers to Hamas affiliation and/or participation in the October 7 attacks.
Congressional oversight officials have also raised concerns about UNRWA’s transparency and cooperation with U.S. inquiries into staff members’ alleged Hamas ties.
Any organization entrusted with providing aid and education to Gazans must be transparent, accountable, and free from terrorist infiltration.
Humanitarian work cannot become a shield for terror networks.
The truth matters — and international institutions must be held to the standards they claim to represent.
After two weeks of fear, prayers, and tireless search efforts from the community, 14-year-old Esther from Toronto has been found safe. ❤️
We are relieved to hear this news and continue to keep Esther and her loved ones in our thoughts as she receives the care, support, and privacy she needs in the days ahead.
CNBC’s Joe Kernen said out loud what many people increasingly recognize: “Anti-Zionism gives people who harbor hatred for Jews an out to be antisemitic.”
Criticizing Israeli government policy is one thing. Singling out the Jewish state for demonization and holding it to a standard no other country is held to, is something entirely different.
Hananya Naftali reminded the internet how Jewish and Israeli students were treated at UCLA during the encampments and protests that followed the October 7th massacre.
UCLA is now being sued once again for what the US Department of Justice calls, ‘deliberate indifference to the suffering of its Jewish and Israeli students,’ in the suit.
Universities cannot claim to be adequately addressing hatred against Jews on campus while simultaneously allowing their mistreatment.
Former NYC Mayor Eric Adams will attend the Israel Day parade this weekend, an event every mayor of New York City has attended since the event’s inception.
This kind of allyship from the city’s former mayor is so important. Israel’s diversity will be represented at the event including members of the Jewish, Muslim, Druze, Christian, and other communities who call Israel home.
Solidarity, truth, and equality will be on full display in Manhattan on Sunday. 💙🇺🇸🇮🇱
At the graduation ceremony for Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy, administrators refused to hand over a diploma to a student who broke the university’s rules by displaying a Palestinian flag on the ceremonial stage.
The announcer eventually told the student that all flags are prohibited, allowing the student to hand the flag to someone offstage. The student then immediately received his diploma.
Standing beside both the Israeli and Druze flags, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar spoke about religion as a source of faith, strength, and love instead of hatred. He emphasized that respect for all people and all religions must remain a core value. This is especially important in a region too often consumed by extremism and division.
The partnership between Israel’s diverse faith communities, from Jews to Druze, reflects a vision of coexistence rooted in mutual respect rather than sectarian hatred.
The Trump administration has filed a second lawsuit against UCLA, accusing the university of not taking action to protect Jewish and pro-Israel students from harassment during pro-Palestinian protests in 2024.
For many Jewish students, life on campus during the encampments meant harassment, exclusion, intimidation, and fear in spaces that are supposed to promote learning and safety.
Universities cannot claim to value diversity and inclusion while failing to protect Jewish students from targeted hostility.
