A recent review of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) has highlighted the need to strengthen the agency's neutrality. This review comes in the wake of accusations made by Israel earlier this year, alleging that a significant number of UNRWA staffers are affiliated with Hamas or other Palestinian militant groups.
The review, led by former French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna and published on Monday, focused on assessing whether UNRWA is effectively maintaining its neutrality. While the review was not specifically tasked with addressing Israel's allegations, it aimed to evaluate the agency's efforts in upholding neutrality.
