Over 100 Israeli families have taken legal action by filing a lawsuit in US federal court against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and other individuals. The lawsuit, lodged in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, accuses UNRWA of funding Hamas and playing a significant role in an attack that occurred on October 7.
The lawyers representing the Israeli families claim that UNRWA was involved in a billion-dollar money laundering operation that provided financial support to Hamas. This alleged funding of Hamas reportedly diminished the humanitarian aid intended for Gaza residents and contributed to the October 7 attack.
