flag A U.S. court dismissed a $1B lawsuit against UNRWA, citing its immunity as a UN body, without judging alleged Hamas ties.

flag A U.S. court has dismissed a $1 billion lawsuit alleging UNRWA aided Hamas in the October 7 attacks, ruling the agency is immune from legal action in U.S. courts as a UN entity. flag The decision, based on international law, means the court did not assess whether UNRWA staff were involved with Hamas. flag The case was brought by over 100 Israeli plaintiffs, including victims’ families, who accused UNRWA of supporting Hamas through its resources. flag The Biden administration had argued UNRWA lacked immunity, but the judge found the court lacked jurisdiction. flag Plaintiffs plan to appeal, as the ruling highlights ongoing disputes over UNRWA’s accountability.
