Most people who are engaged in underground organizations try not to have their involvement known publicly,” said Stéphane Dujarric, spokesperson of United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, when asked why the UN employed for decades a Hamas terror chief who oversaw 2,000 teachers at UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.1 Yet this report reveals that the opposite is true: Hamas terror chiefs held top positions within UNRWA’s educational system despite publicly and repeatedly flaunting their support for and ties to Hamas and terrorism. UNRWA knew — and did nothing.

The UN agency that raises more than $1 billion annually from Western states with the promise to educate Palestinian children with values such as peace, tolerance, and universal human rights, instead has handed them over to the very operatives who recruit child soldiers, glorify suicide bombers, and preach the annihilation of a UN member state. By knowingly employing Hamas terrorist leaders as school principals and teachers, and by allowing terror chiefs to head the unions that oversee thousands of their teachers, UNRWA didn’t just tolerate extremism — the Western-funded UN agency institutionalized it, turning classrooms into incubators of hate.

Over its 75 years of existence, UNRWA has churned out thousands of jihadi terrorists. Some of the most infamous include the perpetrators of the 1972 Munich Massacre, or Mohammed Deif, the now-deceased commander of Hamas’s Al-Qassam Brigades, one of the masterminds of the October 7th atrocities in Israel. This in itself should raise alarm bells for any donor that supports UNRWA out of genuine humanitarian concerns.

UN humanitarian agency has a track record for producing so many terrorists? This report tells the story of how Hamas took over the UNRWA staff unions that oversee thousands of teachers and school principals, and hijacked the agency’s entire education system. As we established in our previous report, The Unholy Alliance: UNRWA, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad,

Following the scandal over a 3,000-member UNRWA staff Telegram chat group that cheered the October 7th atrocities, exposed by UN Watch in January 2024, the UN created an “independent review” headed by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna “to assess whether UNRWA is doing everything within its power to ensure neutrality and respond to allegations of serious neutrality breaches when they are made.”

March 2023: Senior Hamas member and former UNRWA Gaza Staff Union leader Issam Al-Daalis facilitated UNRWA’s hiring of Hamas government teachers who had resigned in order to work for UNRWA.  October 2024 to March 2025: UNRWA suspended five of Sharif’s associates in the UNRWA Lebanon Teachers’ Union. This prompted the usual fierce opposition and protests from UNRWA staff. Despite clear and compelling evidence of their ties to and support for terrorism, it took nearly a year for UNRWA to fire them

Hamas took over UNRWA’s education system in Gaza. The report reveals UNRWA’s repeated capitulation to coordinated extortion tactics by Hamas and the UNRWA Gaza Staff Union, focusing on UNRWA’s longtime employment of Suhail Al-Hindi and his UNRWA-Hamas associates in Gaza

LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD…HOW THIS UN AGENCY INDOCRINATE MANIPULATED CHILDRED MINDS COLLABORATING WITH HAMAS LED TERRORIST ORGANIZATION…And we have Pro PFLP Solidarity Groups in NZ that support these horrors.
