'No other refugee population had an agency like UNRWA,' Illouz said. Israel officially severed all ties with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), marking one of its most decisive actions against an organization long accused of aiding Hamas. Illouz condemned UNRWA's role in fueling terrorism and vowed to push for its global shutdown. Illouz argued that UNRWA was not a humanitarian organization but a political tool that perpetuated the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Beyond ideology, Illouz claimed UNRWA was deeply embedded with Hamas. Despite longstanding evidence, Western governments continued to fund UNRWA.
