1. there is some degree of hamas infiltration in unrwa. that is still certainly bad and problematic. there should be reform of unrwa though they do some important, life saving work–john kirby, who is as pro-israel as anyone in biden’s administration- said [so two days after the money was frozen](https://x.com/JoshKraushaar/status/1751943030183952815). but there needs to be reform and better history taught in unrwa material as well.
2. bibi and his close allies often lie/embellish the shit out of stuff to make Palestinians look worse. we’ve seen it before, and this is almost certainly another example. This is probably part of the reason why all these western countries, for months, have started donating money to unrwa again after freezing the money initially because they’ve quietly realized this was an embellishment by his right wing government.
