Chris Gunness of UNRWA said Suhail al-Hindi, the chairman of the UNRWA Palestinian workers' union in Gaza and [B]the principal of a UNRWA elementary school[/B], was suspended due to "substantial information" received by the agency. The Israeli defense body COGAT said [B]al-Hindi was elected to Hamas' politburo in a secret vote this month[/B], though al-Hindi denied that. The U.N. agency forbids its staff from holding political office.
