Israel Backs U.S. Aid Cut to UNRWA
(Jerusalem Post) Daniel J. Roth - Responding to the U.S. announcement that it would enact cuts in aid to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon said Tuesday: "UNRWA has proven time and again to be an agency that misuses the humanitarian aid of the international community and instead supports anti-Israel propaganda, perpetuates the plight of Palestinian refugees and encourages hate. Just over the last year alone, UNRWA officials were elected to the leadership of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, UNRWA schools denied the existence of Israel, and terror tunnels were dug under UNRWA facilities. It is time for this absurdity to end."
