The U.S. Department of Justice officially notified the Southern District Court of New York that it no longer recognizes the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) as enjoying legal immunity, a dramatic shift from Washington’s earlier stance, according to a JNS report.
This announcement marks a pivotal moment in a lawsuit filed last year by families of victims who were murdered or kidnapped during the horrific Hamas onslaught in southern Israel on October 7, 2023. The plaintiffs accuse UNRWA of playing a role in the massacre, while Israel has disclosed that at least 18 UNRWA employees allegedly took part in the atrocities.
