Tel Aviv, March 31 -- The Israeli Foreign Ministry has condemned the interim report on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and called it an attempt to "cover-up" the failures of the UN body.

Israel Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lior Haiat emphasised that despite Israel presenting detailed information about the "deep penetration" by the Hamas and the Islamic Jihad into UNRWA in Gaza, the report has not even mentioned that the UN body should fire or refrain from hiring such employees.
