UNICEF says a Gaza aid group that has openly cheered Hamas and Iranian missile strikes on Israel falsely presented itself as a partner of the agency. A UNICEF representative said it never had any partnership agreement with the Sameer Project or paid for its work, and is asking it to remove the claim. After being questioned, the group and its founder, Hala Sabbah, deleted four posts glorifying Hamas and the Iranian strike on Israel. The group received $300,000 from a Marxist activist who is now fighting a U.S. extradition request over allegations that include laundering money to fund Hamas.
