You can argue why the funding was cut for 3 months, but I guess the go to agreement here is Israel lied, and everyone did it for ####s and giggles and not actually because they were given intelligence that revealed serious issues with how the money is being used and how UNRWA operate.
I find it totally implausible that "serious issues with how the money is being used and how UNRWA operate" were resolved more or less to funders' satisfaction within three weeks. Also, keep in mind that the original claim by some posters was to the effect that "Hamas has hijacked UNRWA for decades now". It is even more implausible (to the point of guffaw) that this could be resolved more or less to the satisfaction of funders in three months.
