Commissioner-General of the U.N. agency for Palestinian Refugees Philippe Lazzarini speaks during a news conference in Beirut, Lebanon, May 27, 2024. On Monday, June 24, Israelis who were taken hostage or lost loved ones during Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack filed suit against the United Nations agency that aids Palestinians, claiming it has helped finance the militants by paying agency staffers in U.S. dollars and thereby funneling them to money-changers in Gaza who allegedly give a cut to Hamas. Lazzarini said Tuesday, June 25, that he learned of the case only through the media. (AP Photo/Bilal Hussein, File)
