A student stands at the entrance of a school run by the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees in the Balata camp in the West Bank on August 29, 2018. The Trump administration has decided to cancel all U.S. funding of that U.N. program. In addition to contributions to UNRWA, the United States has provided direct, bilateral assistance to the West Bank and Gaza. The administration also wants other countries in the region who carry the banner of Palestinian rights to pay. Administration officials dismiss the “sky is falling” anxiety regarding UNRWA while citing the ability of other countries to do more.
