UNWRA Gaza union head, accused of Hamas ties, no longer employed by agency
2017-04-23
If this is the beginning of a trend, it will be because of President Trump.
[IsraelTimes] Israel had charged that school principal Suhail al-Hindi was elected to a leadership role in the terror group in February vote.

The United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
 agency for Paleostinian refugees said Saturday a Gazoo staffer suspected of having been elected to Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",’s leadership no longer works for the agency.

Agency front man Chris Gunness said that Suhail al-Hindi was no longer employed by the UN Relief and Works Agency. He declined to say whether al-Hindi had quit or was fired, saying the agency doesn’t "discuss the terms of departure of individual staff members."

In February, UNRWA suspended al-Hindi -- the chairman of the agency’s Paleostinian workers’ union -- pending the results of an internal investigation sparked by Israeli accusations that the school principal was a member of Hamas’s new politicianship.

Al-Hindi denied links to the terror group.

Hamas is listed as a terror organization by the United States and most of Europe, including some of UNRWA’s top funders.

The claims against al-Hindi were made by COGAT, the Israeli Defense Ministry agency responsible for civilian affairs in the West Bank and Gazoo, and the Foreign Ministry.

UNRWA, which provides Paleostinian refugees and their descendants with education, health care, and social services, initially denied Hindi’s Hamas affiliation, saying in a statement that the agency had "neither uncovered nor received evidence to contradict the staff member’s denial that he was elected to political office." Its statement quoted Hindi as saying that he has "no relation whatsoever with the issue."

Three days later, however, UNRWA front man Chris Gunness announced Hindi was suspended based on "substantial information" it had been provided.

He insisted the decision to suspend Hindi pending the outcome of an internal investigation was made independently of Israeli demands.

#1  His, salary as Hamas functionary, will still come (ultimately) from UN, however.
