Sen. Van Hollen Defends UNRWA Amid Allegations of Hamas Collaboration

Calls allegations 'flat-out lies' and warns of humanitarian crisis in Gaza if funding is cut.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen defends UNRWA against allegations of collaborating with Hamas, calling them 'flat-out lies'.
UNRWA came under scrutiny after Israel claimed 12 of its employees participated in a Hamas attack.
The U.S. and other nations have paused funding to UNRWA amid these allegations.
Van Hollen argues cutting UNRWA funding would worsen the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Republicans in Congress call for blocking further funding to UNRWA, while Democrats stress the need for investigation.
