The U.S. Justice Department has reversed the Biden administration's position and argued that a lawsuit can proceed in Manhattan accusing the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) of enabling Hamas's 2023 attack on Israel. The lawsuit claims that UNRWA allowed Hamas to use its funds to support the terrorist infrastructure that led to the attack. The Biden administration previously argued that UNRWA was immune from such lawsuits as part of the United Nations. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages on behalf of Israeli plaintiffs, including survivors of the attack.
