Football manager Pep Guardiola has appeared in a digital campaign for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in Spain, urging support for the organization and continued advocacy for Palestinians.
In a video released as part of the campaign, Guardiola stated that those killed in Gaza "are not dead, they are people who have been murdered." He emphasized that the victims are not mere numbers but individuals with lives, families, dreams, and memories, describing the situation as a "dark period in our history" where children are searching for parents amidst the rubble and suffering from hunger.
Guardiola called for continued solidarity with Palestine, stating, "We continue to see children in Gaza looking for their parents." He also highlighted the long-standing suffering of Palestinians, who have endured decades of displacement, violence, loss, and injustice, expressing "admiration for the resilience of the Palestinian people." He asserted that Palestinian lives are as important as others and their pain should not be ignored.
The campaign aims to garner humanitarian and political support for UNRWA. Guardiola praised the agency, stating it has been by the side of Palestinian refugees for over 75 years, providing essential services and preserving their history, identity, and rights. He stressed that support for UNRWA is more crucial now than ever.
The article notes that Guardiola's statements and participation in the UNRWA campaign omit significant information regarding allegations of UNRWA staff involvement in terrorism, corruption, and participation in the October 7th attacks. It references reports and Israeli intelligence indicating that some UNRWA employees are Hamas operatives, with over 100 Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists being graduates of the agency's education system. Former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant previously revealed details of 12 Hamas terrorists employed by UNRWA who allegedly participated in the October 7th massacre.
