(Times of Israel) U.S. Mideast peace envoy Jason Greenblatt called for a full UN investigation into UNRWA, its agency for Palestinian refugees, after a report leaked Monday alleged widespread corruption. Greenblatt said in a tweet, "UNRWA's model is broken/unsustainable & based on an endless expanding # of beneficiaries. Palestinians residing in refugee camps deserve much better." Former UN envoy Nikki Haley added, "This is exactly why we stopped their funding." The report paints a picture of a small number of mostly foreign senior leaders centralizing power and influence while disregarding UN checks and balances. UNRWA's top official, Commissioner-General Pierre Krahenbuhl, is alleged to have been romantically involved with a colleague who was appointed in 2015 to a newly created role of senior adviser to the commissioner-general after an "extreme fast-track" process, the report says. 2019-07-30 00:00:00Full Article
