The country was one of the donor states to freeze around $450 million in funds after Israel accused 12 UNRWA staff of participating in the Hamas-led attack

British security officials are studying a Daesh group video that threatens more action against the United Kingdom.
Officials are looking for clues on Monday about the identity of a masked man who speaks with a British accent on the video before shooting a purported British spy in the head. Four others accused of spying for Britain are also shot dead by other masked figures who do not speak.
The masked man, occasionally pointing a gun at the camera for emphasis, vows the extremists will soon invade Britain and establish Shariah law.
The anti-British propaganda video is the first to surface from the Daesh extremists since Britain's Parliament approved Cameron's December request for authorisation to launch airstrikes against Daeash positions in Syria. The masked figure characterises Prime Minister David Cameron as an "imbecile."
Cameron's spokeswoman, Helen Bower, would not say whether Cameron had seen the video. She said British intelligence services were working to identify the masked militant and a young child who appears in the video.
Bower said the video is "propaganda, and should be treated as such."
Bower declined to comment on the allegation that the five men who were killed were British spies.
The 10-minute video concludes with footage of a young boy of about 4 or 5 who threatens Britons.
The extremists frequently use children in propaganda videos.
"It shows that the new generation is already part of the fight," said Olivier Guitta, director of the consulting group GlabalStrat,
The video circulated on Sunday features an apparent Daesh replacement for Mohammed Emwazi, the British-accented man known as "Jihadi John," who was killed in a drone strike in Syria in November. He had figured prominently in earlier Daesh propaganda videos.
