UN agency for Palestinians slams shocking suspension of funds by several Western countries| Oneindia

The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees strongly criticised the "shocking" withdrawal of funding by several countries on Saturday (Jan 27).

This move came after Israel accused some of the agency's employees of involvement in the October 7 attack by Hamas.

In response, the UN chief, on Sunday (Jan 28), called on donor states to "ensure the continuity" of funds to UNRWA.

Tensions at the United Nations have escalated as Israel and Russia clashed over the ongoing Gaza conflict, with Iran strongly condemning the U.S. for rejecting a proposed ceasefire. The UN General Assembly has called for an immediate ceasefire to address the worsening humanitarian crisis, but the U.S. vetoed the measure, citing security concerns and ongoing threats from Hamas. Iran has accused the U.S. of enabling violence by siding with Israel. Meanwhile, Israel criticized the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), alleging that dozens of its 13,000 workers in Gaza participated in Hamas attacks, further complicating relations with the UN. These developments highlight deep divisions among global powers, leaving the path to resolving the Gaza conflict uncertain. #IsraelVsRussia #UNFaceOff #IranFumes #USRejectsCeasefire #GazaCeasefireProposal #UNRWAControversy #IsraelBlastsUNRWA #MiddleEastConflict #UNDebates #IsraelPalestine #RussiaVsIsrael #UNResolution #CeasefireDebate #GazaCrisis #DiplomaticTensions ~HT.178~PR.152~GR.124~

Hamas's Oct 7th Nova Festival Massacre to Killing of Yahya Sinwar: Key Events of Israel-Hamas War

The Israel-Hamas conflict has been marked by pivotal moments of violence and tension. The war escalated dramatically on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel during the Shemini Atzeret holiday, including the massacre at the Nova Music Festival. The assault, which involved a barrage of rockets and the infiltration of militants into Israel, resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 people, with families targeted in their homes in kibbutzim. The brutal nature of this attack prompted Israel to declare a state of war, followed by a complete siege of Gaza. The humanitarian toll was staggering, with over 1.4 million Palestinians displaced in the ensuing weeks. The war continued with significant losses on both sides, including the deaths of high-ranking individuals such as Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. On October 17, 2024, Sinwar was killed in an Israeli operation, marking a key turning point in the conflict #HamasAttack #NovaFestivalMassacre #IsraelHamasWar #October7Attack #YahyaSinwar #IsraelWar #HamasConflict #MiddleEastCrisis #GazaSiege #IsraelDefenseForces #HostageRescue #WarToll #HumanitarianCrisis #IsraelMilitaryOps #MiddleEastTensions
