Germany says it will resume coordination with UNRWA

27. Oh, let me help you out here! The UN is currently investigating the Israeli claims.

Didn't you read the report from the panel investigating UNWRA's lapses in complying with the humanitarian principle of neutrality? It's right on the first page of the Executive Summary:

The [present] Group was created to assess whether UNRWA is doing everything within its power to ensure neutrality and respond to allegations of serious neutrality breaches when they are made, taking into account the […] context in which it has to work, especially in Gaza, and to make recommendations for UNRWA to improve and strengthen in this area, if necessary. This followed allegations made by the Government of Israel in January 2024 that some UNRWA staff may haveparticipated in the 7 October 2023 terror attacks on Israel.

The UN Secretary-General also activated a separate investigation by the UN’s Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) to determine the veracity of these allegations, which, if proven true, would be horrifying in addition to being a grave violation of their obligations towards the Organization.

Didn't you hear what the panel's chair had to say at her press conference?

Colonna emphasized Monday that Israel cooperated with her team and that it was not within her mandate to examine evidence against individual employees in connection with Oct. 7. That was “a separate mission,” she told reporters.

Speaking at a news conference at U.N. headquarters in New York on Monday, Ms. Colonna said she wanted to be “very clear” that the question of involvement in Oct. 7 is a separate question, one that remains under internal investigation by the United Nations.

I'll read the report of the investigation into UNRWA staff involvement in the October 7 massacre when the UN investigation is complete and it issues its findings.

I recommend that everyone do so. It's so much wiser than relying on misleading clicikbait simply because it confirms one's biases.
