Trump's DOJ says UN agency can be sued for Oct. 7 attacks, reversing Biden-era position

The Trump Justice Department has said that an agency under the United Nations can be sued in the United States over its alleged involvement with Hamas in the horrific Oct. 7, 2023, attacks in Israel where nearly 1,200 people were slaughtered, including more than 30 Americans.

In a document filed in a federal court in New York on Thursday, the Justice Department said that the UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine) is not entitled to immunity, opening the door to a potentially massive lawsuit.

Families of more than 100 victims of the Hamas-led terror attack are claiming $1 billion in damages from UNRWA, asserting that the UN agency aided and abetted the terror group’s attack. The UNRWA coordinates nearly all aid to Gaza and is considered an affiliate of the UN, but it operates independently.
