[HIGHLIGHTS] Reports of involvement in Hamas attack: Former head of UNRWA believes the allegations were politically motivated

Reports of involvement in Hamas attack: Former head of UNRWA believes the allegations were politically motivated. Several employees are said to have been involved in the massacre by the terrorist organization Hamas in Israel on October 7th.

Matthias Schmale does not believe it is likely that around ten percent of the aid agency's approximately 12,000 employees working in the Gaza Strip have connections to Hamas or Islamist Jihad. There is currently no evidence for Schmale's claim - the allegations are based on a dossier from the Israeli secret service.
