Trump administration eyes slashing funds to controversial UN Palestinian agency


The Trump administration's budget-slashing campaign at the United Nations has a new target -- a Palestinian refugee agency that critics say promotes an anti-Israel agenda in the Middle East. We don’t care.”The attention is turning now to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which provides funding to Palestinian refugees. They also object that Palestinian refugees are the only refugees with their own refugee agency, with all other refugees coming under the remit of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). “UNRWA is an organization that perpetuates the problem of the Palestinian refugees,” he said, according to The Jerusalem Post. A spokesman for UNRWA said that the agency’s understanding was that no decision had yet been made by the Trump administration.
