Israel's UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan responded to the published findings of a UN investigation into UNRWA employee involvement in October 7, calling it a "disgrace."

The investigation concluded that some nine UNRWA employees "may have" been involved in the massacre.

According to Erdan's statement, posted today (Monday) on X, the investigation was "too little and too late. The investigation ignored the thousands of agency workers involved in Hamas terror activity and the scope of the involvement."

Erdan said that "Israel provided the UN with precise details of over a hundred UNRWA workers who were members in the Hamas terror organization. Despite the cooperation and shared information which Israel delivered to the UN, the conclusions of the investigation are a further disgrace to the UN, which still refuses to recognize reality."

Erdan concluded by saying that "The Secretary-General needs to resign and UNRWA needs to be closed down! Israel needs to work quickly now to make UNRWA illegal, declare it a terrorist organization, and expel its leaders from Israeli territory and deny them entry."
