A United Nations agency's alleged involvement in the October 7 terror attacks in Israel has led to widespread decisions to cut funding.

The United Kingdom, Canada and other key Western powers have joined the United States in cutting funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for Palestine Refugees in the Near East after 12 employees were accused of being "involved" in the attack.

Germany, Italy, Australia, Finland, Netherlands and Switzerland have also joined the boycott following the accusations, which have already resulted in the termination of multiple staffers.

The United States temporarily paused "additional" funding for the key United Nations agency in the Gaza Strip over allegations that some of its members were "involved" in the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack in Israel.
