Blinken says US has not investigated Unrwa allegations itself

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Washington will look hard at what steps Unrwa takes in response to the "deeply troubling" allegations that its staff were involved in the 7 October attack on Israel.

"It is imperative that Unrwa immediately, as it said it would, investigate, that it hold people accountable as necessary, and that it review its procedures," Blinken said at a news conference.

The secretary of state said that the US itself has not investigated the claims, but still said they were "highly credible".
