Intelligence reports and media reports have found that UNRWA employees participated in the October 7 attack on Israel. Additionally, Hamas and other terrorist groups use UNRWA offices and schools to store weapons and act as command centers. GRAHAM: “UNRWA has blood on its hands. They’re part of the problem, not the solution. I have no desire, zero desire, to help UNRWA. You can’t convince me they’ve changed. Nothing’s changed that I know of… So, I want to make sure we don’t give a dime to this organization anytime soon.” https://youtu.be/eb6wgbgZOwA?si=vgsvV2atY0TNSmRx&t=551 GRAHAM: “…How much more evidence do we need to have before we say UNRWA is not a good deal for the American taxpayer? It’s not a good deal for stability in the region.” https://youtu.be/eb6wgbgZOwA?si=LzztIJQ78DCffZgj&t=269 GRAHAM: “I have no apologies to anybody for saying UNRWA should be defunded until it is fundamentally changed.” https://youtu.be/eb6wgbgZOwA?si=v8R7uD9c4iPTTd_N&t=312 Click here to watch Graham’s full remarks ###	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T18:32:29Z
