The Hamas–UNRWA Holocaust dispute erupted on 31 August 2009 following a perception in the Gaza Strip that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) planned to include a course on human rights that speaks about the Holocaust in the eighth-grade curriculum of preparatory schools it runs in the territory. The Palestinian nationalist and Islamist movement Hamas, which is the de-facto government in the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip, protested, calling the Holocaust "a lie made up by the Zionists" and demanding the removal of the offending content from the curriculum. Some officials of the United Nations agency initially responded by denying that it teaches the subject of the Holocaust in its schools or that it plans to teach it in its new curriculum. This denial drew criticism from various groups and individuals.
What the highlighted wording does

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
The 2009 dispute in which Hamas, which governs Gaza, denounced UNRWA's plan to teach Holocaust history, calling the Holocaust "a lie made up by the Zionists." Through October 6 2023 the opening called it the "Militant Islamic movement Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip." The word appears nowhere in the article today; the opening now calls Hamas "the Palestinian nationalist and Islamist movement... the de-facto government in the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip." A reader today learns Hamas is described as Gaza's government and not that Wikipedia's own opening once called it a militant movement.
