U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres defended the UNRWA's operations in Gaza, stating that only 'a few elements' of the organization were affiliated with Hamas. This comes in response to Israeli ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon's claim that the UNRWA is entirely controlled by Hamas.
Guterres acknowledged that Hamas had 'infiltrated' the organization but emphasized that there is no concrete evidence supporting Israel's allegations. He condemned the infiltration, clarifying that it was limited to a few individuals involved in a specific incident.
