Palestinians Demand Cancellation of Agreement Signed with U.S. to Resume UNRWA Funding
(Al-Monitor) Palestinian factions in Gaza on Sep. 14 called for the revocation of the new framework agreement between the U.S. and the UN relief agency UNRWA. The agreement called for restoring U.S. funding, cut off for several years under former president Trump, but stipulates, "The U.S. will not make any contributions to UNRWA except on the condition that UNRWA takes all feasible measures to ensure that no part of the U.S. contribution is used to assist any refugee receiving military training as a member of the so-called Palestinian Liberation Army or any other guerrilla organization or has participated in any terrorist act."
