    US Investigators Confirm UNRWA Staff as Hamas Operatives in Oct 7 Attacks

    US investigators have independently confirmed that Faisal Ali Al-Naami, an UNRWA social worker caught on tape dragging an Israeli's body into an SUV during Hamas's Oct 7 massacre, was an active Hamas 'military communications' operative. The USAID inspector general's office has linked at least 108 UNRWA staff to Hamas and the Oct 7 attacks, including three school teachers who held Israeli civilians hostage. The findings could lead to the dissolution of UNRWA and blacklisting of involved staff.

    Extremadura Rejects Distribution of Minors, Threatens Legal Challenge

    Extremadura's Vice President and Vox leader, Óscar Fernández, announced that the region will not attend a childhood sectorial conference and will judicially challenge cases where immigrant minors are not returned to Morocco. He demands that the central government prioritize the safety of minors and investigate sexual assaults before proposing new territorial distributions. Fernández also demands that the reunification of families and return of minors who may have been victims of sexual assault be accelerated. The Extremadura Regional Government defends individual assessment of each minor's situation and warns against automatic or collective transfers that could hinder reunification with families.

This is the fourth region where 'Yabloko' faces obstacles in participating in regional parliament elections, following previous incidents in St. Petersburg, Karelia, and the Pskov region.
