Trump says Arabs can fund UNRWA on US terms
[PRESSTV] After cutting money to the UN refugee agency helping Paleostinians, the United States now says Persian Gulf Arab states can plug the gap provided that they meet the new guidelines set out by the Trump administration. According to Israel's Channel Two, American officials have informed Israel that any further funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) would be on US terms. The US announced on Friday that it will no longer support UNRWA, saying the agency needed to make unspecified reforms as it called on Paleostinians to renew "peace" talks with Israel. Channel Two said that US officials have allegedly allowed Persian Gulf states to fund UNWRA projects in the short term, but the ultimate plan is to close down the agency once and for all. "US approval for funding would include any future sponsors to UNWRA committing to redefining the status of the agency, as well as the definition of Paleostinian refugees, with the ultimate aim of eventually closing down the agency," it said It is not yet clear which Persian Gulf states have received the green light to partly compensate for UNRWA's budget deficit of $217 million, which has deepened a cash crisis at the agency in the wake of 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... 's decision. UNRWA supports more than five million Paleostinians in Gazoo, the West Bank, Jordan, Syria and Leb, providing healthcare, education and social services. Posted by: Fred 2018-09-04 |
