The US has “reached out to the Government of Israel to seek more information” about allegations Israel made against 12 staff members of UNRWA, Washington’s ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, has told reporters according to Al Jazeera.

While Thomas-Greenfield said, “I’m not going to get ahead” of an investigation launched by the UN, she also said the US would not restore funding until UNRWA made “fundamental changes”.

Thomas-Greenfield’s comments come after questions have arisen over whether Israel changed details about how it obtained information about the 12 UNRWA employees it says were involved in the October 7 attacks on Israel.
