As I write this today, it is 116 days, 5 hours, 13 minutes, and 59 seconds since more than 200 Israeli hostages were taken by Hamas during the October 7 massacre.
Amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, questions have been raised about UNRWA's ties with Hamas, and what function, if any, it would fulfill in a post-war Gaza. On January 26, the U.S. announced it would temporarily pause funding to UNRWA after Israel revealed that at least a dozen employees were allegedly involved in the October 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel.
