bassem naim also denounced unrwa's decision to dismiss some of its employees based on israeli allegations now on the uk joining other countries in halting funding for unrwa. 0ur political correspondent harry farley has been closely following the developments. i've been speaking to sources in the foreign office in the last hour or so, and they tell me the uk has committed 60 million so far to the humanitarian situation in gaza. that has not all been paid. that goes out in tranches, in different instalments. the next instalment is due in april and what the foreign office ares saying is they are pausing that future funding, so the future instalments of that money that the uk government has committed, they are pausing that until this investigation is concluded. a foreign office spokesman said that the uk is appalled by these allegations against unrwa staff, that they were involved in the attack on the 7th of october, a heinous act of terrorism that the government has repeatedly condemned. that's the foreign office statement this afternoon. and what more do we know, harry, about the background

bassem naim, a member of the political arm, spoke to the bbc�*s newshour programme, and denounced unrwa'sismiss some of its employees based on israeli allegations. it is not the rule of unrwa to defend the israeli policies, and considering our right as palestinians in general to defend themselves against the operation which is guaranteed by the international law in clear words, to consider it as a terrorism or so. chris gunness is a former chief spokesperson for unrwa, and now director of the myanmar accountability project. he gave me his reaction to the situation. unrwa has a zero—tolerance policy towards these kinds of violations of its neutrality. it always investigates credible reports of this. this has clearly happened, and what better evidence of unrwa's commitment to that zero—tolerance policy than the fact that even before the investigation was finished, commissioner general, the executive, the chief executive of unrwa, philippe lazzarini, has dismissed these people? i think that's clear evidence of a zero—tolerance policy and unrwa needs to report that back to its donors. 0n the
