Hamas slams Board of Peace for refusal to work with UNRWA in Gaza

Hamas has condemned the Board of Peace for refusing to work with UNRWA and for stating that the agency will have no role in Gaza. The Board's decision is seen by Hamas as aligning with Israeli interests to end UNRWA's operations, prevent aid delivery, and eliminate the right of return for Palestinians. The Board claimed that UNRWA's involvement in Gaza remains unchanged but would only cooperate with trusted partners, which Hamas criticizes as hostile and ineffective. Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem criticized the Board for failing to provide aid or enforce the ceasefire, accusing them of neglecting Palestinian lives.
