most likely because others in the org knew that there was some basis ...
Of course - all those cell phones could have just gone walkabout on a certain day ...
Don't worry though .. there will be other investigations I'm sure. (I'd be particularly interested to see what other western intelligence services have to say - if/when that is available)

We have highly credible evidence, not merely allegations, of war crimes. Starvation as a tool of war as just one example. Collective punishment. Wanton destruction of civilian infrastructure. On and on. Not to mention the possibility, as the ICJ has acknowledged, of genocide.

But no. Instead let's defund the sole agency capable of actually delivering the massive and immediate aid the ICJ has ordered. An effective if not diabolical way of circumventing that very order.

Based on allegations without solid evidence that are somehow deemed "highly, highly credible".

Let me just state that EVEN IF every allegation turns out to be true, it would not justify the destruction of the entire agency and the collective punishment of 6 million people - two + million of whom are literally starving - based on the actions of 12. If that's the standard we hold, the IDF should be "defunded" and disbanded immediately.

I am shocked and dismayed (and sarcastic).

A six-page dossier on over 100 UNWRA employees with ties to Hamas... Just listing their names, the positions they held at UNWRA and the types of their affiliations with Hamas would have taken over six pages.

Yet 18 countries and UNWRA itself had no problem finding evidence elsewhere.

Performative outrage, full steam ahead!

Next investigative expose coming from Channel 4: no evidence of the validity of Einstein's theory of relativity in the Swedish Academy's statement awarding him a Nobel Prize.

he is dumber than he looks.
