U.S. Senator Ted Cruz has spoken out after it was confirmed that the terrorist group Hamas had established an intelligence site beneath the headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). In a statement, Senator Cruz expressed his concern and called for accountability for those who supported Hamas.
According to Senator Cruz, the UNRWA had been providing material support to Hamas terrorists, which included salaries and facilities. He condemned this support, stating that it enabled Hamas to commit unspeakable atrocities against Israelis and Americans.
"The United Nations Relief and Works Agency has been knowingly providing material support for Hamas terrorists who committed unspeakable atrocities against over a thousand Israelis and dozens of Americans. That support included salaries and facilities," Senator Cruz said.
He further emphasized the need for action against those who funded the UNRWA, stating that foreigners who knowingly supported the agency should face sanctions. Additionally, he called for investigations into Americans who fundraised for the UNRWA, potentially implicating them in criminal material support for terrorism.
"Foreigners who knowingly funded UNRWA should be subject to sanctions and Americans who knowingly fundraised for them should be investigated for criminal material support," Senator Cruz explained.
To address these concerns, Senator Cruz is currently circulating language on these issues and intends to continue advancing measures until those responsible for enabling terrorism are held accountable.
"I am currently circulating language on these issues and will continue advancing these measures until the people who enabled this terrorism are held accountable," Senator Cruz stated.
The confirmation of a Hamas intelligence site beneath the UNRWA headquarters has raised serious questions about the agency's role and its potential involvement in supporting terrorism. Senator Cruz's statement highlights the need for transparency and accountability within international organizations, urging action to prevent further support for terrorist groups.
