The executive director of UN Watch has accused a senior DFAT official of lying to the Senate about claims the Australian government was taking allegations of links between UNRWA and Hamas seriously.
UN Watch, a human rights organisation based in Geneva, has been a key body in exposing the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees for its ties to the Gaza terrorist group.
Accusations of a link between the groups had been levelled against UNRWA for multiple years before accusations emerged in January that 12 of its employees had been involved in Hamas's October 7 terrorist attacks on Israel.Following the grave allegations, Australia joined multiple international allies in suspending its latest tranche of funding to the refugee organisation.
