The United Nations said it will terminate the jobs of nine staffers with the agency for Palestinian refugees, based on an internal investigation.
What's new: The U.N. Office of Internal Oversight Services completed its investigation into 19 area staff members with the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, or UNRWA, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres' office announced on Monday. The staffers were alleged to have links to Hamas' attacks on Israel. No evidence was found in one case; the evidence obtained by OIOS was "insufficient to support the staff members’ involvement" in nine other cases.
