2/ Group admins include Safaa Mohammad Al Najjar from Rafah (UNRWA ID#30026166).
She often shares administrative information about UNRWA to the group, including UNRWA employee lists — like this massive file with 1,765 UNRWA Gaza teacher names and IDs: t.me/UNRWA_EDU/3510…
3/ Now recall that UNRWA's position, in the words of @Adnan_Hasna, is that “We don't know who's in this Telegram group.” They just don't know “if these people work, or don’t work for UNRWA.” UN Watch's exposé was nothing but “allegations.”
(Interview @RavivDrucker @newsisrael13)
4/ Now back to admin Safaa Al Najjar (UNRWA ID# 30026166).
When not sharing charts of 1,750 UNRWA teachers, she's busy praising the Hamas atrocities of October 7.
He posted praise of the 2021 Lod pogrom, when Arab rioters murdered 3 Jews, injured 600, set ablaze 10 synagogues and 112 Jewish residences, and looted 386 Jewish homes: t.me/UNRWA_EDU/1416…
8/ Meet Moreed Abdulaziz Issa, UNRWA teacher at Shouka Elem Co-ed School. (UNRWA contract #30016859, ID #410506307)
On October 7th, he celebrated the Hamas massacre of Israelis: “What we did exceeded expectations... what they do after doesn’t matter”: t.me/UNRWA_EDU/3436…
9/ Meet Yaser, posing in front of his UNRWA classroom blackboard.
He posts to his fellow UNRWA teachers: “Oh, how much I hate the Jews.” (Source: )
10/ Meet Ibrahim Sultan, sporting an UNRWA Staff Covid-19 mask.
On October 7, he posted in the UNRWA group to celebrate the Hamas attacks:
Too bad his mask won't protect his young Gaza students from UNRWA's most dangerous virus: poisonous antisemitism. t.me/UNRWA_EDU/3436…
11/ Recall that the UN is disparaging the notion that the members of this group belong to UNRWA. So now let's look at members' posts sharing UNRWA teacher training materials, internal UNRWA memos on vacation days, and school calendar details.
12/ The Telegram group is replete with posts from UNRWA officials sharing internal documents with the teachers in the group, including these UNRWA teacher training materials: t.me/UNRWA_EDU/3278…
13/ More examples of UNRWA teachers in the groupchat sharing UNRWA school materials:
These were shared by admin Safaa Al Najjar (UNRWA ID# 30026166), who celebrated the Hamas atrocities on October 7th.
14/ When the UNRWA teachers in the group aren't celebrating Jihadi terrorism, they're messaging about UNRWA work schedules, school dates and vacation days.
Remember: the UN and UNRWA claim they have no way to know that this group has anything to do with UNRWA or its teachers.
15/ This post inviting members of the Telegram group to an online learning program which requires an official UNRWA account: t.me/UNRWA_EDU/2066…
16/ When they're not posting online praise of Hamas terrorism and atrocities, they're discussing how to pass UNRWA's famously rigorous “Social Media and Neutrality” course. t.me/UNRWA_EDU/2436…
17/ The Telegram group messages are filled with internal UNRWA staff memos signed by Thomas White, UNRWA's Gaza director.
19/ Ahmed Sallout posts list of hundreds of UNRWA staff for which the UNRWA human resources department is requesting banking information in order to pay their salaries.
The list includes their full names, phone numbers, address, contract and ID numbers: t.me/UNRWA_EDU/3404…
20/ Remember, the UN says this group has nothing to do with UNRWA, but they posted this list of hundreds of UNRWA daily-paid teachers and info on compensation. Has full names, schools, type of teacher, start and end dates, ID numbers & days of compensation: t.me/UNRWA_EDU/3291…
@UNRWA 21/ UNRWA internal files in the chat include this chart of thousands of UNRWA teachers who have of completed their e-courses. Includes staff names, ID numbers, start dates of UNRWA employment: t.me/UNRWA_EDU/2065…
22/ List of transfers of tenured UNRWA teachers. Shared by the pro-terrorism admin Safa al-Najjar. Includes full names and employee numbers: t.me/UNRWA_EDU/3381…
23/ There’s much more to come, but I need to get some sleep. To be continued soon.

Meet Nawaf Salam, president of the World Court. As Lebanon's UN rep, he voted 11 times for the Islamic Regime in Iran, blocked Security Council action for Assad's victims and backed tyrants Lukashenko and Fidel Castro. He voted against Israel 210 times. unwatch.org/report-head-of…
2/ When ICJ President @nawafasalam was at the UN, he consistently sided with the Islamic Regime in Iran. Over 11 years, he voted against 11 UN General Assembly resolutions that condemned the fundamentalist regime’s violations against its people.
3/ In 2007, when the UN General Assembly considered a resolution to denounce the Islamic Republic of Iran’s use of stoning as a method of execution, Judge Nawaf Salam voted to shield the regime, joining a club that includes China, Russia, Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela.
BREAKING: Hamas war room and killer drones found in UNRWA Headquarters in Gaza City. IDF finds Hamas surveillance ops room, huge quantities of weapons, tactical drones, rockets, machine guns, mortars, explosives and grenades.
📍UNRWA Pledging Conference opens today, 10 am in NY
2/ Today when he addresses the UNRWA Pledging Conference in New York, expect commissioner general Philippe Lazzarini to deliver his usual “We did not know what was under our noses” defence.
3/ At today's UNRWA pledging conference, starting today at the United Nations at 10 am in New York, expect also all of our governments to recite the identical mantra: “UNRWA is an indispensable, irreplaceable, life-saving lifeline.”
Mehdi Hassan: “UN set up independent inquiry, Israel refused to give evidence.”
Let's unpack the lies.
1. Chair herself said she had “excellent cooperation” with 🇮🇱; her mandate was NOT to identify the terrorists; and Israel is sharing info with separate UN inquiry run by OIOS.
2/ What Catherine Colonna said at the United Nations about how her report was misrepresented by the media completely demolishes Mehdi Hassan's claims. (As he blocked me, I need you to tag @mehdirhasan so he will see this.)
TRANSCRIPT:
Q: How would you characterize the Israeli cooperation with you, given that as you may have seen today, the main takeaway from your report is Israel has yet to provide any evidence for its allegations that UNRWA personnel were involved in the October 7th attack. So how would you characterize that cooperation and this main takeaway?
Catherine Colonna: Thank you. I covered everybody when I said that we received very good cooperation from everywhere, including Israel. I could go in details who received us and so on and so forth, but I want to repeat that we had an excellent cooperation from all sides.
Now about one of the quotes—I couldn't read everything this morning—but one of the quotes that have been issued does not respect, I think, the text of the report. We have written – and the beauty of writing reports is that you can refer to what's written—we've written that UNRWA has not received evidence by Israel, not that there is no evidence. It's very different.
So please, again and again, refer to the content of the report and not to what you hear sometimes about it. I would really appreciate if you could base your comments and base your judgments on the content and not on preconceived opinions.
Q: You stated that Israel has given no evidence to UNRWA about their claims that any UNRWA employees took part in October 7th, but did you during your investigation ask Israel for evidence?
Catherine Colonna: Thank you for this opportunity to have me repeating that there must be no confusion between what we've been tasked for, which is assessing whether UNRWA does everything in its power to ensure neutrality and address challenges, etc., and what the OIOS is in charge of. There are two separate missions. So allegations regarding individuals, a difficult case, are in the scope of the OIOS mission. It is not the scope of our mandate.
And by the way, it is no surprise that Israel did not provide evidence to UNRWA because it doesn't owe this evidence during the investigation to UNRWA, but to the OIOS. And my understanding is that they have a better cooperation now than at the beginning, and that the team will, their investigators will return there soon. So this is a separate, separate mission.
3/ Mehdi Hassan: “The UN set up an independent inquiry.”
Fact: The inquiry was completely rigged. UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini created the inquiry—as his surrogate Chris Gunness said—“to provide cover” for pro-UNRWA states to restart funding.

Today: UNRWA chief Lazzarini in Bundestag denies he reinstated Hamas-linked school and union leader Fathi al-Sharif, decries “misinformation.”
4 days ago: UNRWA-linked site reports Lazzarini met alliance including Hamas & Islamic Jihad, agreed to “reinstate Fathi Al-Sharif.” 🧵
According to Palestinian Refugees Portal, a news site funded by an UNRWA affiliate, “the Alliance of Palestinian Forces” (which includes Hamas and Islamic Jihad) held a meeting on Monday, June 30, with UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini. /2 refugeesps.net/post/27887/%D8…
“The leadership of the coalition of Palestinian forces in Lebanon, the Islamic forces and Ansar Allah held a meeting with UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini, in the presence of the Chairman of the Lebanese-Palestinian Dialogue Committee, Dr. Basil Al-Hassan, and the Director of UNRWA in Lebanon, Dorothy Klaus, on Monday at the Government Palace in the capital, Beirut.” /3 alqudsnews.net/post/205379/%D…
Dear @AntonioGuterres: Acting under Article 3 of the United Nations Code of Conduct, we today filed a Complaint over financial misconduct by Francesca Albanese. We demand that you disclose all illegal payments she took since 2022, and all her expenses:
🧵 unwatch.org/wp-content/upl…
We requests that you commence an immediate and independent investigation into serious allegations that Ms. Albanese has been illegally requesting payments for work done in her official UN capacity, in gross violation of her solemn obligations under the Code of Conduct. /2
Art. 3 of the Code of Conduct prohibits Albanese from taking remuneration from “any governmental or non-governmental source” for activities in pursuit of her mandate. Albanese herself admitted she “cannot take [an] honorarium for anything she does in her official capacity.” ⤵️ /3
BREAKING: UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini in Beirut reinstates Hamas-linked principal & union leader Fatah al-Sharif in “understandings” reached with Lebanese Prime Minister, in exchange for Islamist UNRWA union factions ending months-long strike tomorrow. refugeesps.net/post/27925/%D9…
In March, under pressure from UN Watch, UNRWA chief Lazzarini suspended al-Sharif for three months without pay over his Hamas ties. Yet instead of condemning his links to a terrorist group, al-Sharif's fellow UNRWA teachers and staff backed him—and went on strike in support. /2
Contrary to UNRWA's “just a few bad apples” line on teachers' terror support, the entire UNRWA Lebanon teachers’ union—2,000 teachers—held mass strikes across Lebanon, shutting schools and services, to march on UNRWA's Beirut office to back al-Sharif. /3 unwatch.org/unrwa-teachers…
