admitted that "the evidence – if authenticated and corroborated – could indicate that the UNRWA staff members may have been involved in the attacks of 7 October" (https://www.unrwa.org/newsroom/official-statements/investigation-completed-allegations-unrwa-staff-participation-7-october), and promptly destroyed the evidence that was supposed to be authenticated and corroborated. (https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/408096)
