I knew that this claim would ultimately prove to be a pack of lies...
The allegation was made to distract from the verdict of the world court.
"At least some of the evidence Israeli used to allege ties between the UN Palestinian Aid Agency (UNRWA) and Hamas was obtained through the torture of the organization’s staff members, according to a report by the United Nations. After the Israelis made the allegations, the US cut funding to UNRWA. Secretary of State Antony Blinken initially labeled the Israeli assertions as “highly, highly credible.”
On Friday, Reuters reported that it reviewed an 11-page UN investigation into claims that UNRWA had substantial ties with Hamas. “Agency staff members have been subject to threats and coercion by the Israeli authorities while in detention, and pressured to make false statements against the Agency, including that the Agency has affiliations with Hamas and that UNRWA staff members took part in the 7 October 2023 atrocities,” the report says.
The investigation concluded the coercion “included severe physical beatings, waterboarding, and threats of harm to family members,” according to the outlet. UNRWA did not provide transcripts to Reuters, and the Israeli military declined to comment.
Additionally, the UNRWA report found significant abuse of all Palestinians detained in facilities. Reuters said the abuse listed in the report included, “beatings, humiliation, threats, dog attacks, sexual violence, and deaths of detainees denied medical treatment.”
Multiple news outlets and human rights organizations have documented the torture of Palestinians in Israeli detention facilities since October 7. According to +972 Magazine, “Israeli soldiers subjected Palestinian detainees to electric shocks, burned their skin with lighters, spat in their mouths, and deprived them of sleep, food, and access to bathrooms until they defecated on themselves.”
