It needs to be noted that these allegations have been made by the very least credible actors in the whole campaign, namely the IDF and the US State Department, who are responsible for thousands of outlandish lies in the past months.
Allegations UNRWA staff were involved in the abhorrent October 7 terror attacks are deeply concerning.
