Romania suspends payments to UN Palestinian agency - foreign ministry

Romania has suspended its voluntary payments to the United Nations' Palestinian aid agency (UNRWA), the foreign ministry said on Monday, joining a series of countries to do so pending a full investigation into accusations that its employees were involved in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel.

"We express our full confidence that the U.N. investigation will clarify the situation as soon as possible," the ministry said. "Until the investigation is concluded, the ministry will ... not make any new voluntary contributions to UNRWA."
