US diplomat brands UNRWA a 'subsidiary of Hamas', demands nations cut all ties

During a UN pledging conference, US envoy Jeff Bartos criticized the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), labeling it a 'subsidiary of Hamas'. He urged nations to cut all funding and support to the agency due to its alleged ties with the terrorist organization Hamas.

Bartos's statement underscores ongoing concerns about UNRWA's operations and its impact on peace efforts in the region. This call to action reflects a shift in US foreign policy regarding support to organizations associated with groups perceived as threats to Israel.
