Tel Aviv, March 11: The Israeli government strongly criticized the decision made by the governments of Canada and Sweden to restore funding to UNRWA (UN Relief Workers Agency for Palestinians) in Gaza. The two nations had suspended such funding after Israel released evidence that many UNWRA workers were Hamas terrorists and that some even took part in the October 7 massacre.

Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement calling the move, "a serious mistake that constitutes tacit agreement and encouragement on the part of the governments of Canada and Sweden to continue to ignore the involvement of UNRWA employees in terrorist activity." "The return of funding to UNRWA will not change the fact that the agency is part of the problem and will not be part of the solution in the Gaza Strip," it said.
