Shurat HaDin, a Tel Aviv-based organization representing families of victims and survivors of the October 7th massacre is demanding that UNRWA be listed as a terror organization because of its proven ties to Hamas.

Amid revelations that 12 UNRWA workers took an active part in the October 7th massacre and the discovery of a Hamas data center located directly below UNRWA’s Gaza headquarters, Shurat HaDin is pursuing action to ensure the UN “humanitarian” organization’s involvement with terrorism is investigated and exposed.

The President of the Law Center, attorney Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, said, “Now it is clear to everyone that UNRWA has opened its doors to Hamas terrorists in an unprecedented way.”

She added, “Posing as a humanitarian organization, (UNRWA) encourages a false and dangerous historical narrative.”

“They have also become the central headquarters of a terrorist organization, some of whose workers murdered innocent Jews with their own hands.”

Nitsana Darshan-Leitner said there is ample evidence to prove UNRWA’s terrorist ties, and what remains is approval by the Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to proceed.

“UNRWA is no longer a humanitarian agency – its become a full-scale jihadi group,” said Darshan-Leitner.

She added that Shurat HaDin has “all the grounds and legal evidence for the Defense Minister to declare them a terrorist organization.”

The designation of UNRWA as a terror group is essential, Darshan-Leitner said, to prevent further activities that could lead to more terror attacks like the one on October 7th.

“This designation is necessary” to avoid “terrorist violence and expedite the collapse of Hamas rule in the Gaza Strip.”

According to its website, Shurat HaDin is “dedicated to protecting the State of Israel. By defending against lawfare suits, fighting academic and economic boycotts, and challenging those who seek to delegitimize the Jewish State, Shurat HaDin is utilizing court systems around the world to go on the legal offensive against Israel’s enemies.”
