$50 million in new US funding for UNRWA an obstacle to peace: legal analysts

Prof. Alan Dershowitz and other experts tell JNS they would disband the U.N. agency.

BY BRADLEY MARTIN

(February 7, 2023 / JNS) On his recent trip to Israel, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke often about the importance of security and stability in the region. Following a terrorist attack in which seven Israelis were murdered, he told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israelis should know that America’s commitment to their security is “ironclad.”

But several legal analysts told JNS that Blinken’s pledge of roughly $50 million in U.S. additional assistance to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East directly contradicts that pledge. Refunding UNRWA, after the previous administration reduced it drastically, puts Israel’s security at grave risk, they said.

$50 million to the UN for Palestinians. It seems every day the Biden administration has millions or billions to pass out arbitrarily.

Yet we are told there is nothing that can be cut from the federal budget.

If McCarthy and the Republicans are serious at all, the 2024 federal budget needs to eliminate discretionary spending by federal agencies and the President. Every expenditure needs to be a line item in the approved budget. Every line item needs to be reduced 10% or more versus prior year.

Fiscal discipline must be restored.
