Special Report September 2024

Key Facts 01 1 UNRWA has an incentive to maintain the status quo: The organization’s existence depends on preserving the Palestinians’ refugee status by bequeathing it to future generations, unlike all other refugees anywhere else.

3 UNRWA employees actively participated in the October 7th events: More than a dozen UNRWA employees, including teachers, educators and aid warehouse managers, were actively involved in the massacre, murder, mutilation and abduction of Israeli citizens.

2 UNRWA is one of UNRWA employs 1.5 times more employees than the UN Global Refugee Agency which takes care of 10 times more refugees worldwide. Nevertheless, it refuses to streamline its operations for fear of reducing the number of its registered refugees. the largest and most inefficient UN entities:

4 Many UNRWA employees are

affiliated with terrorist organizations:

UNRWA considers the affiliation with Hamas to be a mere political label and does not regard Hamas as a terrorist organization. UNRWA employees, including teachers, have ties to Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations.

2

5 UNRWA’s curriculum materials include incitement to terrorism and antisemitism: The organization’s official curriculum materials consist of materials that glorify terrorist acts and incite violence against Jews as well as antisemitism.

7 There is abundant

evidence of corruption within UNRWA’s Administration:

An internal UNRWA investigation exposed evidence of incidents of sexual harassment, abuse, nepotism, discrimination and abuse of authority.

8 Most of UNRWA’s More than 60% of UNRWA’s budget comes from the USA, Germany, the European Union and Sweden. Many countries have halted UNRWA’s funding in light of its employees’ involvement in the October 7th massacre, yet the donations from pro-Palestinian charities and human rights organizations continue. funding is derived from Western countries:

6 Hamas utilizes UNRWA’s infrastructures for committing terrorist acts: The IDF has uncovered significant evidence of the use of UNRWA’s facilities and schools for concealing weapons and explosives and has even presented evidence of tunnels being dug near UNRWA facilities.

Organizational Identity Card – Provision of Assistance to Palestinians who are Defined as Refugees throughout the Middle East UNRWA vis-à-vis UNHCR (the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) 03 „ When UNRWA began operating in 1950, it addressed the needs of approximately 750,000 Palestinian refugees. Presently, about 5.9 million Palestinian refugees are entitled to receive services from UNRWA – eight times their original number . „ This increase stems from the fact that UNRWA enables Palestinian parents to bequeath their refugee status to their children, generation after generation, unlike all other refugees around the world. „ Evidence indicates that UNRWA’s formal numbers are inflated , as a due process of verification and registration of Palestinian refugees will unavoidably impair its influence and the budget it receives. „ While the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees is responsible for facilitating the “return and resettlement” of refugees as well as their “assimilation with new national communities”, UNRWA does not have a mandate to resettle the Palestinian refugees and its main incentive is to preserve the status quo. „ While UNRWA has over 30,000 employees responsible for about 5.9m Palestinian refugees, 18,000 UNHCR employees care for about 59m refugees worldwide. UNRWA has more than twice as many employees as UNHCR , but at the same time only cares for approx. 10% of the number of UNHCR's refugees . „ While other UN agencies like UNHCR or UNICEF refrain from employing local workers, UNRWA mainly hires locally. As a result, after the local Hamas government, UNRWA is the largest employer in the Gaza Strip . „ While UNCHR uses iris scans in some regions to gain an overview of the refugees receiving assistance, UNRWA refuses to register and verify Palestinian refugees . While the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is responsible for providing solutions for refugee problems throughout the world, UNRWA is solely responsible for the Palestinian refugees, without a mandate for solving their problems in the long term.

Organizational Identity Card – Provision of Assistance to Palestinians who are Defined as Refugees throughout the Middle East UNRWA’s Involvement 06

in the Massacre of October 7, 2023 and whitewashing of Hamas' infiltration of the organization

The Ministry of Defence provided testimonies and evidence stating that UNRWA employees were involved in the surprise attack on Israel. „ January 2024: Israel's Ministry of Defence released evidence proving that UNRWA employees were involved in Hamas' monstrous attack on Israel on October 7th, 2023. „ In response, UNWRA fired several of said employees. UNWRA promised that "Any UNRWA employee who was involved in acts of terror will be held accountable, including through criminal prosecution." However, until now, UNWRA has failed to take any concrete action . „ Israel has provided the agency with evidence that hundreds UNRWA employees are members of the Hamas military wing. „ UNRWA does not consider Hamas a terrorist organization, and therefore does not prevent anyone with links to Hamas from working with the agency. „ Intelligence shows that Hamas considers UNRWA an essential asset both for maintaining its rule over Gaza and for exploiting the agency's facilities to build terror infrastructure. Hamas' links to UNWRA is not a case of "a few rotten apples", as some have tried to portray it. „ UNWRA Director Lazzarini does not enforce the prohibition on membership in armed groups. The "Action Plan" presented by UNRWA to its donors did not contain steps to identify and dismiss employees who are members of armed groups. „ In July, after receiving a list of 100 UNRWA staff who are Hamas or PIJ's military operatives, Lazzarini neither suspended them nor launched an independent investigation . „ In August, a UN probe confirmed participation of UNRWA staff in the 7.10 massacre. The probe by the UN's Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) declared that Israel's assertions about the involvement of UNRWA employees in the October 7 massacre are credible and true. Yet, UNWRA has not taken new steps to remove Hamas' operatives from its staff.

12

„ A case of special concern is Hamas' infiltration into the UNWRA educational department: Over 10% of senior UNRWA educators in Gaza (school principals or deputy principals, directors or deputy directors of training centers) have been exposed as members of Hamas or Islamic Jihad. „ Over thirty UNRWA facilities including schools in Gaza have been found to contain terror infrastructures such as weapon storage and tunnel shafts, reflecting a possibly systematic abuse of the status of these facilities for terrorist purposes. Hamas operated a high-end server farm directly under UNRWA's Gaza headquarters, with communication and electricity cables connecting both compounds. Case study: 2 UNRWA Teachers who Participated in the October 7 Attack. In the first recording, a terrorist who works as an Arabic teacher at an UNRWA school in Dir al-Balah describes his entry into Israeli territory and reports that he is holding Israeli hostages. In the second recording, another terrorist who works as an UNRWA elementary school teacher in Khan Yunis reports that he is inside Israeli territory.

UNRWA teachers upload posts that glorify Hamas’ attack on October 7.According to the report, this is a systemic issue and the organization’s self-control mechanisms fail to function and criticize this phenomena.

The Executive Director of the UN-Watch Organization revealed correspondence in a UNRWA Telegram group consisting of about 3,000 teachers who celebrated the massacre and rape committed by Hamas terrorists on October 7.

On October 7, Sarah Alderawy, an English teacher at a UNRWA school in Gaza, posted a video of Hamas terrorists walking around Sderot while shooting at civilians. The video was accompanied by a verse from the Koran (27:37): "Go back to them, for we will certainly mobilize against them forces which they can never resist, and we will drive them out from there in disgrace, fully humbled" (Trans. Quran.com). https://did.li/V94Nf

who Support Terrorism

For decades, the official Palestinian educational system has promoted incitement to terrorism and violence. This includes glorifying terrorists—martyrs and prisoners—while obfuscating the existence of the State of Israel and portraying Jews in a demonic manner. 1. Components of the official Educational System The educational system includes the teaching staff, teachers' guides, textbooks, higher education programs, and summer camps for children and youth in Judea & Samaria, and the Gaza Strip. 2.Educational Environment The educational environment, including schools (sometimes named after terrorists), class and school activities, and social networks, all serve as a vehicle for transmitting the Palestinian Authority's messages in the context of the conflict with Israel. This includes: „ Calls for Violent Struggle: Advocating for the liberation of all territories, including those within Israel's 1967 borders, glorifying terrorism, and encouraging the murder of Jews. „ Delegitimization of Israel: Denying the existence of the State of Israel and the historical presence of Jews in the land, including their holy sites. „ Demonization of Jews and Israel: Promoting negative stereotypes and hostility towards Jews and Israel. 3. Glorification of Terrorists The glorification of terrorists occurs on a large scale within Palestinian Authority territories through rallies, street naming, competitions, and official ceremonies. Terrorists are often presented as role models for children and teenagers. Notable examples include: Schools Named After Terrorists „ "Amin al-Hussaini" elementary and middle school for boys in Ramallah. Named after the Mufti of Jerusalem during the British Mandate who collaborated with Nazi Germany. „ "Dalal Al-Mughrabi" elementary school for girls in Hebron. Named after a terrorist who led the 1978 coastal road attack, killing 35 Israelis.

24

„ "Abdullah Azzam" elementary school in Jenin. Named after a founder of Al-Qaeda, of Palestinian origin. „ "Nashat Abu Jabara" elementary school in Tulkarm. - Named after a Hamas operative who created explosive belts used in attacks against Israeli civilians. Summer camps in Judea & Samaria 1 Every year, summer camps are held for Palestinian children in Judea & Samaria. These camps, sponsored by the Higher Council for Youth and Sports (part of the PLO and headed by Jibril Rajoub 2 ), are attended by approximately 65,000 children. The camps promote the glorification of terrorists, non-recognition of Israel, and calls for the return of Palestinian refugees to their original homes, including those inside Israel.

PLO Summer Camp in Bethlehem: Left: Camper holds poster with photos of terrorists, among them Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi and 'Uday Al-Tamimi 3 ; right: photos of terrorists under a sign reading "The 'Uday Al-Tamimi Martyrs Group"

Jenin Summer Camp: Features "The cities of Palestine" including cities within Israel (Lod, Safed, Beit Sean, Nazareth, Beersheba, Ashkelon, Ramla, Haifa, Jaffa, Acre and Tiberias)

Fatah Summer Camp in Salfit: Conducts military activities and lessons on the Palestinian struggle, including assembling and disassembling firearms and visiting the graves of "martyrs".

1 Many thanks to the MEMRI - Middle East Media Research Institute 2 Rajoub referred to the Hamas massacre on October 7th as a "natural response" to Israel's actions, in an interview with the MBC channel on 11/22/23. 3 'Uday Al-Tamimi, who carried out the October 2022 shooting at a northern Jerusalem military checkpoint, killing a soldier, and another shooting less than two weeks later at the checkpoint at the entrance to the Jewish city of Maale Adumim.

4. Aggravation Following Recent Events The trends mentioned above have intensified following the massacre committed by Hamas and other terrorist organizations on Simchat Torah (October 7th). This has led to increased incitement and hatred supervised by teaching staff in various schools in Judea and Samaria. Extremist Content in Educational Messages Following the October 7th massacre, the Palestinian Authority's education system and institutional social networks have displayed extremist content:

a. Teachers' Organization Statement (October 10th, 2023) The Palestinian Teachers' Organization published a letter glorifying the Hamas massacre, stating: "Today our Palestinian people are in the most wonderful war that humiliates the oppressive occupation and the best of its soldiers are in a state of defeat at the hands of the best of our Palestinian people... The violent Israeli bombardment that hit civilian homes, residential towers, mosques and universities proves the confusion of the current occupation and its inability to fight the heroes of the Palestinian resistance... The heroes of the resistance tore and trampled their own army... (Israel's)

26

disregard for international laws and regulations shows everyone the The Nazi face. (Israel) forgets that nothing will dissuade the (Palestinian) people from realizing their dream of expelling the occupier and establishing a state (Palestine) with Jerusalem as its capital. We in the Palestinian teachers' organization strengthen the heroism of our Palestinian people who defend their right to this land and the effort to end the oppressive occupation. We reinforce the need for our teachers to take part in all actions that support and help the heroic resistance..."

b. School Activities Glorifying October 7th:

Hebron Elementary School: Posted a drawing of a Palestinian preparing to behead a Jew, shared as a show of support for Palestine and Gaza.

Kabatia Elementary School: Posted a photo of students with placards depicting Palestinians standing on an Israeli tank, shared to show solidarity with Gaza

Nablus High School for Girls: Held an event for the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, portraying it as the root of the Israeli occupation, and posted a drawing of a Palestinian sweeping the Israeli flag from the Al-Aqsa Mosque grounds

These examples illustrate the extent of incitement and promotion of violence within the Palestinian Authority's education system, contributing to ongoing conflict and undermining prospects for peace.

The "Modern Palestinian Geography and History" schoolbook also spreads the antisemitic conspiracy whereby Jews control the world via money. Under the heading "The Zionists' move to the US during WW2", the book claims that "In 1942, the Jews used their control of politics, the economy, and the media in the US to hold a conference at the Baltimore Hotel in New York to transfer responsibility for establishing a Zionist state in Palestine to the US".  Geography and Modern History of Palestine, Vol. 1, Grade 10, 2020, p. 118. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iAxUK8DmnQSxc_1ZzBUVVHMAQkaMnQ8F/vie w?usp=sharing

„ In 2023, UNRWA’s budget was 1.6 billion dollars . „ Approximately 50.4% of donations to UNRWA come from the USA, Germany, the European Union, Sweden, Norway, Japan, France, Saudi Arabia and Switzerland. „ In light of the evidence regarding the participation of its employees in the October 7 attack, at least 16 donor countries – including the two leading donors – USA and Germany – have frozen funding to UNRWA. „ Despite the large budget, in September 2023, UNRWA claimed that its annual budget is insufficient to implement its mandate of assisting the Palestinian refugees. „ This can be attributed to UNRWA’s failure to streamline its operations , due to the active opposition of Palestinian refugees to use technology for any logistical and economic streamlining, fearing that the new method will be utilized to verify and reduce the number of registered refugees.
