Quick Glance: UNRWA Report Highlights Lack of Evidence for Israel's Employee Militancy Claims

- Concerns were raised regarding the screening of UNRWA employees and the content of textbooks, while Israel has yet to provide evidence to support the claim that a significant number of UNRWA employees are members of terrorist organizations.
