Several western countries withdraw funding from UNRWA
Finally, following Israel's discovery that several employees of the UNRWA were involved in the October 7, 2023 massacre by Hamas, a number of countries are suspending their funding of the UN agency:
Update: here's a report on a dossier of accusations Israel's filed against a number of UNRWA workers who were involved in the terrorist attacks.
The United Kingdom, Italy, Finland, Canada, and Australia have all announced that they will suspend funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) over allegations that staff actively participated in the October 7th Hamas terror attacks on Israel.So of course, Biden and company just had to continue funding to a movement that later ended up enabling misery for so many Israelis, and even before that, without a doubt, UNRWA even subjected many other countries to these horrors. It's not enough to "suspend" funding. It has to be stopped altogether, like Trump did when he was POTUS.
On Friday, UNWRA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini that his agency has fired several staff members after receiving Israeli intelligence claiming that at least 12 UNWRA staff members participated in the Hamas terror attacks on Israel that saw the Palestinian Islamists butcher at least 1,200 people — mostly civilians — and kidnap over 250 more, some of whom remain in captivity to this day.
Following the revelations from Lazzarini, the Biden administration announced that it would suspend its funding towards the organisation.
In 2018, former President Donald Trump cut off funding entirely to the agency — which operates in Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria — over evidence suggesting that schools run by UNRWA were indoctrinating Palestinian schoolchildren with anti-Jewish propaganda and staff members supporting terrorism. Yet, Biden’s White House reversed this decision and sent upwards of $700 million to the agency before suspending money on Friday.
On Saturday, several other Western nations announced that they would also halt funding to the U.N. agency. The British Foreign Office said in a statement per the BBC: “The UK is appalled by allegations that UNRWA staff were involved in the 7 October attack against Israel, a heinous act of terrorism that the UK Government has repeatedly condemned.
