Netanyahu calls for dismantling of UNRWA
[Iran Press TV] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for the dismantling of the United Nations...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... Relief and Works Agency for Paleostine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), which aids millions of Paleostinian refugees across the region. In public remarks to his cabinet at its weekly meeting on Sunday, Netanyahu accused UNRWA of anti-Israeli incitement, which, he said, was rife in institutions, including schools, run by the agency. "It is time UNRWA be dismantled and merged with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees," the Israeli premier said. Netanyahu said UNRWA had perpetuated, rather than solved, the Paleostinian refugee problem, adding that he had conveyed his message to Nikki Haley ...first woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At the age of 39, Haley is the youngest current governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Jindal. She is a Republican, which really grates on the Dems... , the US ambassador to the United Nations. Referring to a meeting he held in the occupied Jerusalem al-Quds on Wednesday with Haley, Netanyahu said, "I told her it was time the United Nations re-examine UNRWA's existence." A 'fantasizing' Bibi Netanyahu's comments did not go unnoticed in the besieged Gazoo Strip, which has been blockaded by the Israeli regime for nearly ten years now. Adnan Abu Hasna, a Gazoo-based front man for UNRWA, said the Israeli prime minister was pursuing a "fantasy." Chris Gunness, UNRWA's chief front man, said only the UN General Assembly, by a majority vote, could change the agency's mandate. "In December 2016, UNRWA's mandate was extended for three years by the General Assembly by a large majority," he wrote in an email to Rooters. UNRWA was established by the UN General Assembly in 1949 after thousands of Paleostinians fled or were expelled by Israeli forces from their homes in the 1948 war. UNRWA is tasked with providing assistance and protection to a population of some five million registered Paleostinian refugees. Posted by: Fred 2017-06-12 |
