UNRWA Infiltration: Why France’s Palestine Plan Risks Israel

Most Americans don’t know this, but nine UNRWA staff helped Hamas execute the October 7 massacre that killed 1,200 Israelis and took 250 hostages. Now, France’s President Emmanuel Macron is rewarding that carnage with statehood. Macron is betting on a two-state solution by recognizing Palestine in September 2025—ignoring the mess that could wipe Israel off the map. Wake up, folks—this isn’t just news; it’s a warning.

The UNRWA Scandal

The UN’s own Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) investigated after Israel accused 12 UNRWA employees in Gaza of aiding the attack. Their August 2024 report (www.unrwa.org) confirmed 9 were involved—planning, logistics, even harboring fighters. A teacher, a social worker—regular folks turned enablers. Israel’s evidence (intercepted calls, Haaretz, July 2024) holds weight, though UNRWA claims coercion under Hamas’s rule, where dissenters face execution (Human Rights Watch, 2024). That’s 9 out of 30,000 staff—small, but symbolic. UNRWA fired them, but the damage is done.

Hamas’s Unrelenting Goal

Hamas isn’t playing peace. Its 1988 Charter demands Israel’s destruction via Jihad, and the 2017 revision calls a 1967-border state a “temporary” step—no recognition, no surrender. Ismail Haniyeh’s July 2024 Al Jazeera rant vowed “liberation,” not coexistence. With 20,000+ rockets and tunnels (IDF, 2025), the October 7 breach (75% of border defenses, IDF 2023) proved their intent. They won’t disarm—Macron’s key condition—making his plan a fantasy.

France’s Reckless Bet

Macron’s July 25, 2025, X post touts recognition as a peace move, with Gaza rebuilt and Israel secure. But if UNRWA staff aided Hamas, how does he enforce demilitarization? His oversight is glaring—he’s betting on a unified Palestine while Hamas runs Gaza and the Palestinian Authority flounders in the West Bank. Israel’s PM Netanyahu called it “rewarding terror” (X, July 25), and U.S. Secretary Marco Rubio deems it “reckless” (BBC, July 25). Without disarming Hamas, this could hand them a state to launch more attacks.

Translated to English:

In line with France's historic commitment to a just and sustainable peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine. I will announce this in an official statement at the United Nations General Assembly next September. The utmost urgency now is to halt the fighting in Gaza and provide assistance to the civilian population. Peace is possible. An immediate ceasefire must be reached, the release of all hostages, and extensive humanitarian aid to the population in Gaza. The disarmament of Hamas, the security, and the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip must also be ensured. Finally, the State of Palestine must be established, its existence guaranteed, and, through its demilitarization and full recognition of the State of Israel, allowed to contribute to the security of the entire region. There is no alternative. The French people want peace in the Middle East. We, the French, together with the Israelis, the Palestinians, our European and international partners, must prove that this is possible. In light of the commitments expressed to me by the President of the Palestinian Authority, I have written to him of my determination to advance on this path. Trust, transparency, and commitment. We will achieve peace.

UN and UNRWA’s Shady Past.  

My suspicion’s up—and it’s not paranoia. The UN’s anti-Semitism track record raises red flags. Remember that 2021 article by a UN special rapporteur calling Israel an “apartheid state”? Pulled after backlash (www.unwatch.org, 2021), it stank of bias. UNRWA, funded by the UN, operates in Hamas-controlled Gaza—how can we trust its neutrality? The OIOS probe found isolated incidents, but infiltration suggests deeper issues. With 5.9 million refugees depending on it, UNRWA’s credibility is shot.

Why Israel’s at Risk

Israel is the world’s only Jewish nation (74% Jewish, CBS 2023), a lone light amid 57 Islamic OIC states. It tolerates peaceful worship (17% Muslim, 2% Christian), but Hamas’s goal threatens that. Recognition without purging Hamas ties—via UNRWA or otherwise—could turn Palestine into a launchpad, not a partner. The 2005 Gaza pullout showed that disengagement fuels militancy.

Wake Up, America

Don’t let ignorance fuel this gamble. Check UNRWA data (www.unrwa.org) (www.unrwa.org) or IDF reports (www.idf.il) (www.idf.il) yourself. Macron’s dreaming if he thinks Hamas will play nice—Israel’s safety hangs in the balance. Spread the word.
