VP Harris' Stepdaughter Criticized for Supporting UN Agency Accused of Terror Ties

Ella Emhoff's fundraiser for UNRWA, linked to Oct. 7 attacks, sparks controversy amid US and Western countries' funding suspension.

Ella Emhoff, Vice President Kamala Harris' stepdaughter, has drawn criticism for promoting a fundraiser for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), an organization accused of having staff involved in the Oct. 7 terror attacks on Israel.
The US and other Western countries suspended donations to UNRWA following allegations by Israel that the agency's employees participated in attacks, with some Western countries recently restoring aid.
Congressional Republicans are pushing for a permanent suspension of US funding to UNRWA, while Democrats argue the donations are crucial for aid to Gaza civilians.
The State Department expressed concern over allegations against UNRWA employees and temporarily paused additional funding while reviewing the situation.
Ella Emhoff has previously raised funds for the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund, and her actions have sparked debate over the implications of supporting organizations with alleged ties to terrorism.
