Maybe, there some nuance in your words that I didn't capture, but zero?

There's evidence that UNRWA members have participated in Hamas, including Oct 7. Per your article ...

Quote:
In January, the Biden administration said it was temporarily pausing new funding to UNRWA pending a U.N. investigation into Israel's claims that 12 agency employees participated in the deadly Oct. 7 terror attack in Israel that killed at least 1,200 people. The agency says it employs over 30,000 people, including 16,000 in Gaza. Following Israel's public disclosure, the U.N. terminated ten of those employees, announced two others had died, and launched an investigation.

There are accusations that UNRWA is doing the bidding of Hamas, and that is going too far IMO. But plenty of evidence that many UNRWA members are supportive of Hamas in varying degrees including teaching "extremist" curriculum, participating in a chat group supporting Oct 7, participating in Oct 7 etc.
