UNRWA provides far more than humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip. In this impoverished enclave, the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees acts almost like a state, providing essential services such as health care, education and even psychological support.
That’s why there was an outburst of dismay from Palestinians, countries around the world and aid organizations when Israel’s parliament voted to outlaw any contact between itself and UNRWA — a move that will severely hamper the embattled humanitarian agency.
Israel says the organization has been infiltrated by Hamas "widely and deeply," accusing its staffers of taking part in the Oct. 7 terror attack in which 1,200 people died and another 250 were kidnapped. In response, UNRWA fired at least 10 people.
Much of the rest of the world says that while it is not perfect, UNRWA is the only thing standing between the humanitarian disaster playing out in Gaza and a fate somehow more hellish.
In Gaza, “the humanitarian community as a whole is performing the functions of the state,” said Scott Paul, director of peace and security at the anti-poverty charity Oxfam America. “UNRWA is by far the central actor in that apparatus. And pulling the rug out from UNRWA is essentially pulling the rug out from under people’s most basic needs.

Good! Kick the UnitedNazis out and KEEP them out!
Maybe the palis should have considered that before putting babies in ovens.

<< Israel says the organization has been infiltrated by Hamas “widely and deeply,” accusing its staffers of taking part in the Oct. 7 terror attack >>
All true. We need to ban the UN terrorist enablers from our soil as well.
Perhaps even worse than UN “aid workers” participating in the October 7 rape and massacre of Israeli women and children (if worse is possible) is that the UN with the support of the Biden DOJ claims they have immunity for war crimes. US court, the United Nations, with support from the US Department of Justice, has argued that UNRWA employees who were involved in the October 7 massacre are immune from legal action, Israeli broadcaster Channel 12 News reported on Saturday evening.
According to the document, UNRWA employees involved in the massacre are shielded from prosecution due to their immunity.
“Since the UN has not waived immunity in this instance, its subsidiary, UNRWA, continues to enjoy absolute immunity from prosecution, and the lawsuit should be dismissed,” the UN’s response stated.
The US Department of Justice echoed this position. “The plaintiff’s complaint does not present a legal basis for claiming that the United Nations waived its immunity. Therefore, because the UN has not waived immunity in this case, its subsidiary, UNRWA, retains full immunity, and the lawsuit against UNRWA should be dismissed due to lack of subject matter jurisdiction.”
Take the 10 billion dollars that the Hamas Leadership stole and give it to the people of Gaza, after reparations for the Israelis that were killed, tortured, and held hostage in Gaza.
Israel banning anti-Israel terrorists hurts anti-Israel terrorists.
They may be immune from legal action, but they’re not immune from extralegal (Mossad) action.
Israel should just kill them then. They are enemy combatants.
It could be worse. Or maybe it could be better. There is no reason for UNRWA. It exists to perpetuate the idea that Palestinians are perpetual refugees and victims. They also are in charge of many schools that indoctrinate hate. UNRWA can be replaced with different groups, without UN involvement, that are focused on peace and health.
Most of the UNRWA employees that do the work delivering aid are locals. As long as the aid gets delivered and some administrative support is created to replace the UN people, then maybe they could do even better than UNRWA. Call it PalAid. Have the locals who distribute aid now start to work under an Israeli military logistics unit. Israel is militarily occupying and controlling the territory now so they can handle this too. UNRWA just makes things more complicated, and more volatile and acrimonious, than it needs to be.

I’m stuck on a cellphone 📱 now about to get ready for church Lord willing
Thanks and God bless 🙏🙏🙏
Considering how UNRWA has been actively employing and assisting terrorists, it’s just smart to kick them out.
The nerve for the statement starting with: “Much of the rest of the world says.....”....
The only good Palestinian is a …never mind.
Yes they do
Like providing aid, shelter , money and comfort to terrorists
Set up an express lane for deporting ALL “Palestinians” to their masters in Iran.
Problem solved, next?
Yeah for damn sure, UNRWA provides weapons, storage, safe havens, military intelligence, food, medical services and human shields for HAMAS🤬🤬🤬
Better idea - pay the Palis to sign quitclaims and voluntarily emigrate to Iran. :P
