The U.N. says it has fired nine staff members from its agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, after an internal investigation found they may have been involved in the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack against Israel.

The U.N, secretary-general’s office announced the move in a brief statement to journalists Monday. It did not elaborate on the UNRWA staffers’ likely role in the attack. It said the nine included seven staffers who were fired previously over the claims.

      One of the few times that it actually is true when you go back far enough. This didnt start last year. It just continued.

          Yeah but did you stop and consider the side being genocided fought back against its colonisers when they invaded?

          It’s totally justified to blame both sides when you think of it like that! /s
