UNRWA schools have been used as staging grounds and storage facilities for terrorists. Indeed, UNRWA has long had a role in maintaining the conflict against Israel and there is absolutely no surprise in the fact that UNRWA schoolbooks have been discovered to contain so much hateful material.”Mr Leibler continued, “In 2019, the ZFA called upon the Australian Government to defund UNRWA due to its corruption and support for terrorism.
