Government sources tell CBC that Israel still has not shared evidence with Canada to substantiate its claim that 12 employees of UNRWA were involved in some capacity in the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas and the affiliated group Islamic Jihad.

Britain’s Channel Four News earlier this week obtained a copy of a dossier that the government of Israel shared with the U.K. government, which also cut funding to UNRWA.

Channel Four reported that the dossier was only six pages long. The news service said it rehashes long-standing Israeli government complaints about UNRWA and alleges the involvement of UNRWA staff in the Oct 7 attack, but “provides no evidence” to back up Israel’s explosive allegations against the agency.

Britain’s Sky News also reviewed the dossier and reached a similar conclusion:

Israel has refused to provide the intelligence it says backs up its allegations, either to UNRWA or to the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS), the UN body assigned to investigate.

    British media (and those 1 million Protestors in London) are putting in work, but leaders like Sunak and Trudeau and Biden don’t look like they’re going to budge.

    The baseless accusations against UNRWA have started to run it’s course, so it’s likely we’re going to get another fresh new batch of Zionist lies soon.
