UNRWA is ‘subsidiary of Hamas’, won’t play any role in Gaza aid delivery, says Rubio

On Thursday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Jerusalem said the UN Relief and Works Agency `is not going to play any role` in Gaza aid and stated that Rubio said `that UNRWA is a subsidiary of Hamas`.
Diplomatic visits timed to advance the cease-fire include Vice President JD Vance and Rubio aiming to complete the first phase, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu halted West Bank annexation bills.
Accusers allege that UN Relief and Works Agency sheltered terrorists in Gaza and allowed attacks on Israel, but the United Nations and defenders say such cases are exceptions.
Aid groups including the World Food Programme and Samaritan's Purse are distributing aid in the Gaza Strip, while the United States said it will work with the UN but not UNRWA.
Regional states condemned the Knesset preliminary annexation vote as dozens of Tel Aviv demonstrators supported Daniel Schultz, an Israeli teen refusing military service on Sunday.
