WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald Trump shared a report claiming that more than 100 employees of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees took part in the Oct. seven Hamas attacks on Israel.

This is Trump’s 29th message released today, and the last post was 6 hours ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 18 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 62 of his 600 posts over the last 30 days classified as Foreign Policy posts.

The post linked to a report headlined “USAID report finds more than 100 UNRWA employees participated in Hamas atrocities on Oct. seven,” which Trump shared by mentioning the source (see justthenews). A USAID watchdog referred 101 UNRWA staff members to the U.S. State Department for suspension over their suspected roles in the Oct. seven attacks, according to justthenews.

UNRWA dismissed dozens of the accused employees in response, according to justthenews. Critics of the agency renewed demands to permanently cut all American funding to it, according to justthenews.

UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, provides aid and services to Palestinians across the region. USAID, the U.S. Agency for International Development, administers civilian foreign assistance for the federal government.
