It has been noted that the stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris has publicly raised cash for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency even as the United States has cut funding to the group over its members’ alleged participation in the Oct. 7 terrorist attack in Israel via NY Post.
Ella Emhoff, whose father is second gentleman Doug Emhoff has posted a link to UNRWA’s English-language fundraising page on her personal Instagram, and only removed it after a Post inquiry to the White House.
“We urge Ms. Emhoff to go on the website of UN Watch and read our reports showing how UNRWA teachers and school principals systematically promote and encourage Jihadi terrorism and the slaughter of Jews,” said Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of the nonprofit United Nations watchdog.
“I am sure that if Ms. Emhoff understood how UNRWA promotes hatred and murder, she would stop raising money for them, and she would apologize to victims such as Ayelet Samerano, whose 21-year-old son Yonatan was kidnapped on October 7th by an UNRWA social worker.”
UNRWA, the largest employer in Gaza has long faced international criticism for its close ties to Hamas, which has ruled the enclave since 2006. President Trump has cut US aid to the organization in 2018, a decision President Biden initially reversed when he took office.
It has come to light that under Biden’s leadership, at least $730 million found its way to UNRWA’s coffers. The rapprochement ended, however, in January, when Israel presented evidence that UNRWA employees had been involved in Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attacks that left at least 1,200 dead at a music festival near the Gaza Strip.
