Feds Uncover Disturbing U.N.-Oct. 7 Link As El-Sayed Pushes More Cash For Org

The inspector general’s office for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) reported Wednesday that over 100 current and former staff members from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) were involved in the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre of over 1,200 Israelis.

Critics have warned for years that taxpayer-funded UNRWA is thoroughly infested with Hamas terrorists. Wednesday’s report was also shared by President Donald Trump.

Despite the overwhelming evidence that the U.N. agency serves as a subsidized wing of Hamas, Democrat politicians are still begging to hand them more cash. Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has explicitly championed restoring U.S. taxpayer funding to UNRWA. Pushing a radical foreign policy platform that demands an end to military support for Israel, El-Sayed’s campaign officially calls for an “immediate re-investment in foreign aid, including to UNRWA.”

El-Sayed’s campaign did not respond when asked by The Daily Wire if the Democratic candidate still wants to use U.S. tax dollars to re-invest in UNRWA after the troubling report.

According to federal watchdog records, the referrals detail UNRWA staffers actively engaged in horrific acts during the 2023 massacre. Among those flagged are former UNRWA school teachers who also acted as Hamas terrorists, including one who allegedly engaged in kidnapping, one who held civilian hostages, and another who commanded communications for terror cells from his post as a school principal. One former UNRWA social worker involved in kidnapping a civilian from Kibbutz Be’eri had his debarment proposal terminated only because he was already dead.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Investigations by the USAID Inspector General, dubbed “Operation Stop the Carousel,” have been examining UNRWA-linked individuals suspected of terrorism. Yet, despite receiving billions in international backing, U.N. entities are actively stonewalling the probe. Watchdogs report that U.N. agencies, including UNICEF and the World Health Organization, have repeatedly refused to hand over employee records and payroll data, effectively shielding suspected Hamas terrorists.

Seized Hamas military records revealed that senior staff at UNRWA schools, including principals, deputy directors, and classroom teachers, were active fighters in the Qassam Brigades and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. UNRWA facilities were routinely earmarked as military hideouts and weapons depots, while Gaza residents openly acknowledged the agency’s terror ties as an open secret.

As U.N. Watch Director Hillel Neuer told Congress in January 2024, “As we have shown in numerous reports over the past decade, teachers and schools at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which runs education and social services for Palestinians, regularly call to murder Jews, and create teaching materials that glorify terrorism, encourage martyrdom, demonize Israelis, and incite antisemitism.”

From 3,000-member teacher group chats celebrating the October 7 massacres to classroom materials inciting violence against Jews, American tax dollars have systematically underwritten radicalization.

While figures like El-Sayed push to reopen the money flow, leaders in Washington are moving to shut it down forever. State Department officials and key lawmakers are calling for UNRWA to be permanently dismantled.
