EU Commission Hands Another €202 Million to UN Group Linked to Hamas
25th June 2025
Brussels doesn’t know where to stand on Israel—not that anyone is really listening, anyway. Leaders accept that Israel is, as Friedrich Merz put it, doing the “dirty work” for “all of us,” while continually urging it to stop striking Iran. But when it comes to contentious organisations with apparent links to Hamas terrorists, they are far more assured about their backing.
As such, the European Commission has this week announced the allocation of €52 million—that is, of taxpayer cash—to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
That’s despite reports some of the agency’s staff were involved in the October 7th pogrom and “regularly” met with Hamas terrorists, and more recently that Israeli hostages were held at one of UNRWA’s refugee camps.
