According to Israel's internal security service, Shin Bet, Wahid Abd Allah Borsh, 38, an engineer in UNDP was arrested July 16 on charges of assisting the terrorist organization. During the interrogations, he told that in 2014, he was approached by Hamas requesting him to organize his work in UNDP in the way to benefit Hamas the most.
Zuhri denied the accusations, saying they are "false and have no basis. They are part of a plan to further the siege of the Gaza Strip by means of international aid institutions," as quoted by the Jerusalem Post newspaper.
Hamas, an Islamist political and militant group, seeks the creation of an independent state of Palestine and wants Israel to withdraw from the Palestinian territories it occupied after the 1967 war.
