A new documentary is highlighting concerns about UNRWA's ties to Hamas and alleged antisemitism in its schools, amidst ongoing controversy surrounding the UN agency. This comes as Israel demolished structures at UNRWA's headquarters after banning its operations, citing Israeli law. The demolition occurred weeks after the UN General Assembly renewed UNRWA's mandate through 2029, despite opposition following allegations that UNRWA employees participated in the October 7th Hamas attacks. The Israeli military has also discovered weapons and Hamas infrastructure in UNRWA facilities during the Gaza war. The documentary, "UNraveling UNRWA," examines the agency's history and operations, featuring interviews with various perspectives, and argues that UNRWA promotes a resolution interpreted as granting Palestinian refugees the right to return to their homes.
