flag The U.S. considers sanctioning UNRWA over alleged Hamas ties, despite no evidence from multiple investigations.

flag The U.S. government is reportedly considering terrorism-related sanctions against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), including potential designation as a foreign terrorist organization, amid allegations of ties to Hamas. flag The move, driven by claims that some UNRWA staff were involved in the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, has sparked concern over humanitarian consequences, as UNRWA provides critical aid to millions of Palestinians across Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria. flag The U.S. halted funding in January 2024, calling the agency a Hamas subsidiary, though four independent investigations, including one by the U.S. National Intelligence Council, found no evidence of systemic bias or terrorism links. flag The State Department has not made final decisions, but internal discussions continue, raising legal and diplomatic concerns.
