US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday asked the United Nations’ agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) to immediately look into the “deeply troubling” allegations that some of its staff were involved in the deadly October 7 attacks in southern Israel.
“It is imperative that UNRWA immediately, as it said it would, investigate, that it hold people accountable as necessary, and that it review its procedures,” Blinken said at a news conference.
