From the article:
If you want the full list, though:
Source: https://www.nrc.no/news/2024/november/joint-statement-israel-receives-failing-grade-on-u.s.-demands-in-gaza (this page has the full text of the joint statement and a link to the full report)
UNRWA - the organisation that Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Norway, Japan, Sweden and the European Union determined they should restore their funding to after investigations into allegations were concluded - were not one of the aid organisations referred to by the headline, no.
There never was any involvement between Hamas and UNRWA. UNRWA has taken that sort of thing very seriously, especially since Oct 7th. These 9 were fired because the evidence presented by Israeli officials, with no independent verification, showed it was possible they were involved.
That doesn’t show that they were terrorists or working for/with Hamas on Oct 7th. It showed that it was possible that they violated UNRWA’s policy of Neutrality, and for that they were fired. So trying to attribute this to UNRWA workers in general makes no sense, it’s just used to justify Israel’s attacks on UNRWA staff and other aid workers working in Gaza during a genocide.
