Former foreign minister calls for reinstated UNRWA funding despite ‘links with Hamas’

Sky News host Rowan Dean says Gareth Evans calling for UNRWA funding to be restarted is providing “moral and popular propaganda support” for Hamas. Former Labor foreign minister Gareth Evans wants the government to reinstate funding to UNRWA. This was despite Israeli intelligence that UNRWA staff were involved in the October 7 attacks. Mr Dean told Sky News host Rita Panahi that UNRWA have “proven links with Hamas”. “If he can live with that on his conscious, good luck to him.”
