Trump's DOJ says UN agency can be sued for Oct. 7 attacks, reversing Biden-era position
Fox News
The Justice Department has said that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine is not immune from lawsuits for its alleged involvement with Hamas in the horrific Oct. 7, 2023.
Families of more than 100 victims of the Hamas-led terror attack are claiming $1 billion in damages from UNRWA, asserting that the UN agency aided and abetted the terror group’s attack. The UNRWA coordinates nearly all aid to Gaza and is considered an affiliate of the UN, but it operates independently. Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.

The lawsuit, which was filed last June in the Southern District of New York, alleges that UNRWA helped Hamas build up the terror infrastructure and personnel that were necessary to carry out the attacks, including by "knowingly providing Hamas with the U.S. dollars in cash that it needed to pay smugglers for weapons, explosives, and other terror material."
