The United States' Agency for International Development's Inspector General's office announced Wednesday that it has referred more than 100 current or former employees of a United Nations relief agency to the State Department over their participation in the October 7 terror attacks in Israel.

The referrals include three people they suggested be debarred by the department, including a former United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees school teacher and Hamas operative who allegedly received and held civilian hostages beginning on October 7, 2023.

The agency did not give a full number of employees it referred, but said its investigation has resulted in one total debarment so far, after the individual was found to have coordinated communications with other suspected Hamas members during the terror attacks while serving as an UNRWA school principal.

Another individual was referred to the department for debarment, but records indicated the individual was deceased, and the proposal was withdrawn.

The new referrals come after the U.S. agency, which the Trump administration closed down last year, found in March that 14 UNRWA employees have been linked to Hamas.

More referrals to the State Department are expected, as well as potential criminal referrals to the Department of Justice.

Recall what the UN's internal investigation said from 2 years ago:

UN completes investigation on UNRWA staff
5 August 2024 UN Affairs
The UN said on Monday that nine staff working for its Palestine refugee agency UNRWA will be sacked because they may have been involved in the 7 October 2023 Hamas-led attacks against Israel.

The development follows the conclusion of an investigation by the UN Office of Oversight Services (OIOS), launched earlier this year after Israel alleged that several UNRWA personnel took part in the brutal assault on its territory in which some 1,200 people were killed and another 250 were taken to Gaza as hostages.

However, OIOS was not able to independently authenticate information used by Israel to support the allegations.

Appropriate measures and terminations
OIOS is the highest investigative body in the UN system and its reports are confidential but can be made available to Member States upon request.

Investigators made findings in relation to 19 UNRWA staff alleged to have been involved in the attacks, UN Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq told journalists in New York.

“In one case, no evidence was obtained by OIOS to support the allegations of the staff member’s involvement, while in nine other cases, the evidence obtained by OIOS was insufficient to support the staff members’ involvement,” he said. https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/08/1152841

"USAID report finds more than 100 UNRWA employees participated in Hamas atrocities on Oct. 7"

Are they going to be on Mossad's "to do list", also...?
