    The plea came after multiple countries, including Germany, paused their funding following allegations that some of the agency’s staffers were involved in the terror attacks on Israel on October 7.

    “While I understand their concerns — I was myself horrified by these accusations — I strongly appeal to the governments that have suspended their contributions to, at least, guarantee the continuity of UNRWA’s operations,” Guterres said in a statement on Sunday.

    The UN said it is investigating allegations from Israel that around a dozen UNWRA staff members were involved in the terror attack staged by the Hamas militant group that resulted in the deaths of more than 1,100 people and the kidnapping of 240 more.

    The New York Times reported that CIA Director William J. Burns will meet with Israeli, Egyptian and Qatari officials in the French capital.

    Germany joined a growing list of countries to pause funding to the United Nations aid agency for Palestinian refugees, the UNRWA, after Israel alleged that 12 staff members were involved in the October 7 attack by Hamas militants.

    “We expect Lazzarini to make it clear within UNRWA’s workforce that all forms of hatred and violence are totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” the ministry said on social media.
