This is just a portion of the Israeli intelligence that Canada had access to when the Liberal government decided on March 8 to resume funding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Global Affairs Canada announced the decision despite several other countries, including the United States, opting to wait until the conclusion of a UN investigation before making any decisions on resuming funding they had also paused after allegations from Israel of links between UNRWA and the Oct. 7 terror attacks led.
After allegations in January of UNRWA members taking active roles in the Oct. 7 massacre, the United States announced a temporarily funding halt.
In contrast, the massive appropriations package passed by the U.S. Congress late last month included a statutory ban on funding UNRWA until March 2025.
The intelligence briefing shown to National Post included 43 slides laying out a comprehensive dossier of evidence, including information gathered from communications of Hamas operatives, social media, and video of the Oct. 7 attack. Some of it bore the logo of iNet, the Israeli operation that synthesizes open-source intelligence for the state’s defence establishment.
