Trump moving to strip Palestinians of refugee status: report
[Al Jazeera] US President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... and his administration are making moves to strip millions of Paleostinians of their refugee status, according to a US-based magazine report. As part of the initiative, the Republican president along with his son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, have been trying to disrupt the UN agency for Paleostinians, UNRWA, Foreign Policy (FP) magazine revealed in an article published on Friday. In a controversial move in January, the US government announced that it was withholding $65m of a planned $125m funding instalment to the relief agency, after Trump accused the Paleostinians of being ungrateful for the millions of dollars in aid. Prior to the announcement, Kushner, in a leaked email obtained by FP, wrote: "It is important to have an honest and sincere effort to disrupt UNRWA." "This [agency] perpetuates a status quo, is corrupt, inefficient and doesn't help peace," he reportedly wrote in an email dated January 11 and addressed to several senior US officials. Paleostinian officials told FP that Kushner - tasked with reviving the stalled Israeli-Paleostinian grinding of the peace processor - allegedly pressed Jordan to strip more than two million Paleostinians of their refugee status, so the UNRWA would no longer have to operate there. The White House declined to comment on the record for FP's story. Posted by: Fred 2018-08-05 |
