WORLD Australia, Italy and others halt funding to U.N. agency over claim staff involved in Hamas attack on Israel Updated on: January 27, 2024 / 10:50 PM EST / CBS/AFP
Several key donor countries to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees joined the U.S. and said on Saturday they would halt their funding following accusations by Israel that several UNRWA staff were involved in Hamas's Oct. 7 attack.
The U.S. State Department said on Friday they suspended payments to the organization. The U.S. underlined that "UNRWA plays a critical role in providing lifesaving assistance to Palestinians, including essential food, medicine, shelter, and other vital humanitarian support." The UNRWA is the United Nations humanitarian agency that serves Palestinians.
The organization said it had opened an investigation into allegations from Israel that some of its staff members participated in Hamas' Oct. 7 attack. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said 12 UNRWA employees had been accused of participating.
UNWRA head Philippe Lazzarini said in a statement on Saturday that nine countries have suspended funding to the agency which threatens "our ongoing humanitarian work across the region including and especially in the Gaza Strip." He added, "It would be immensely irresponsible to sanction an Agency and an entire community it serves because of allegations of criminal acts against some individuals, especially at a time of war, displacement and political crises in the region.

“”Participated?” So far, I don’t know what that means.”
To me it means that those countries ALL KNEW what was going on and for reasons they’d like to not talking about (ahem, immigration), they figured it was best to look the other way.
Good. Now cut off all funding to the UN in general. It has long since outlived its usefulness, if indeed it ever had any.
The UN is complicit from top to bottom and side to side.
They should all be hunted down by the IDF and Mossad and killed.
L
Get the U.N. out of the U.S. and the U.S. out of the U.N.
The UN funded and supported the slaughter on Israel.
Biden administration discussing slowing some weaponry deliveries to Israel to pressure Netanyahu
U.S. officials are considering pausing or slowing some arms shipments to Israel to convince the government to heed U.S. calls to scale back its military assault in Gaza.
nbcnews.com, Jan. 28, 2024, By Carol E. Lee and Courtney Kube
WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is discussing using weaponry sales to Israel as leverage to convince the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to heed long-standing U.S. calls to scale back its military assault in the Gaza Strip, according to three current U.S. officials and one former U.S. official.
At the direction of the White House, the Pentagon has been reviewing what weaponry Israel has requested that could be used as leverage, said the sources. They said no decisions have been made.
The sources said Israeli officials continue to ask the administration for more weapons, including large aerial bombs, ammunition and air defenses.
After weeks of private administration requests produced fewer results than the White House wants, the sources said, the U.S. is considering slowing or pausing the deliveries in the hope that doing so will prod the Israelis to take action, such as opening humanitarian corridors to provide more aid to Palestinian civilians.
Among the weaponry the U.S. has discussed using as leverage are 155 mm artillery rounds and joint direct attack munitions (JDAMs), which are guidance kits that convert dumb bombs into precision-guided munitions, the officials said. The officials said the administration is likely to continue to provide other conversion kits that make Israeli munitions more precise.
Officials said they are not likely to slow the delivery of air defenses, though the idea was considered, as well as other systems that can defend Israeli civilians and infrastructure from attack. The administration is focused on offensive military equipment in its review of what it could possibly withhold or delay.
Administration officials have also discussed offering the Israeli government more of the weaponry it has requested as an incentive to take some steps that the U.S. has requested, officials said.
The effort comes after weeks of President Joe Biden and his national security team failing to convince Netanyahu and other Israeli officials to dramatically change tactics in Gaza and to take more steps to minimize civilian casualties, officials said. It marks a potential shift in Biden’s approach by going beyond rhetorical pressure, largely behind the scenes, and to making tangible policy changes aimed at getting Israel to act.
Some Democrats in Congress have been urging the administration to do more to pressure Netanyahu and other Israeli officials.
A spokesperson for the National Security Council defended the administration’s stance toward the conflict so far. “As the president has made clear, he believes that the approach he has pursued has been more effective,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “Israel has a right and obligation to defend themselves against the threat of Hamas, while abiding by international humanitarian law and protecting civilian lives, and we remain committed to support Israel in its fight against Hamas.”
After the publication of this story, the spokesperson added, “We have done so since Oct 7, and will continue to. There has not been a change in our policy.”
The sources said senior Biden administration officials continue to be frustrated that Israel has often disregarded their calls for taking more care to minimize harm to Palestinian civilians, citing the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Khan Younis as the most recent example. That frustration recently escalated inside the Pentagon as well, while Biden and other White House officials have long been privately exasperated with Netanyahu’s handling of the war.
Biden has said for weeks that he’s been doing all he can to get Israel to change its military tactics.
“I’ve been quietly working with the Israeli government to get them to reduce and significantly get out of Gaza,” Biden said on Jan. 8 when confronted by protesters calling for a cease-fire. “I’ve been using all that I can to do that.”
White House officials argue that Biden has had some success, though they concede that Israeli government officials still have not gone as far as the president has wanted.
A senior administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to talk candidly, expressed frustration with Israeli officials. “There’s a lot more that needs to be done and they need to be more careful about,” the official said.
It will be rather difficult for any govt to pressure Israel into “negotiating,”
since Israel has munitions and weaponry to destroy Hamas entirely on their own.
There’s Biden’s 2023 arms handout to Israel:
<><>57,000 155mm artillery shells
<><>more than 5,000 Mk82 unguided or “dumb” bombs,
<><>more than 5,400 Mk84 2,000 pound warhead bombs,
<><>around 1,000 GBU-39 small diameter bombs,
<><>approximately 3,000 JDAMs, which turn unguided bombs into guided “smart” bombs,
<><>BLU-109 bunker busters w/ 2,000 pound warheads designed to penetrate concrete shelters.
There’s Obama’s $38 billion deal that covers fiscal years 2019-2028 that includes:
<><>-annual US payments to Israel of $3.3 billion in “military financing,”
<><>-$500 million a year for Israel’s missile defense operations in the Negev, a foreign aid first,
<><>-A phasing-out of Israel’s decades-long “special arrangement”
<><>ie. Israel used 26.3% of US aid on its own global defense industry (not on US-made weapons).
<><>-Eliminates Israel using some 13% of US aid to buy military fuel.
<><>-will allow Israel to update “the lion’s share” of its fighter aircraft,
<><>includes purchasing additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters.
<><>Israel is to initially receive thirty-three F-35 aircraft,
<><>the first two F-35’s will be delivered in December.
The (a) weaponry build-up from Obama 2018 into 2028, (b) follows the $30 billion weaponry deal Israel signed in 2007, which expires at the end of fiscal 2018, and (c) a systematic buildup of Israeli arms, like this one in 2015.

As required by US law, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale to Israel on May 18, 2015: Joint Direct Attack Munition Tail Kits, munitions, and associated equipment, parts and logistical support for an estimated cost of $1.879 billion.
The Government of Israel has requested:
<><>14,500 KMU-556C/B Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) tail kits
<><>consisting of 10,000 for Mk-84;
<><>500 for Mk-83;
<><>and,4,000 for Mk-82;
<><>3,500 Mk-82 bombs; 4,500 Mk-83 bombs;
<><>50 BLU-113 bombs;
<><>4,100 GBU-39 Small Diameter bombs;
<><>1,500 Mk-83 Paveway kits;

<><>250 AIM-120C Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles;
<><>and 500 DSU-38A/B Detector Laser Illuminated Target kits for JDAMs.
The proposed sale of this equipment will provide Israel
<><>the ability to support its self-defense needs
<><>enable Israel to maintain operational capability of its existing systems
<><>and will enhance Israel’s interoperability with the United States.
Israel already has these munitions in its inventory, and will have no difficulty absorbing the additional munitions into its armed forces.
All questions regarding this proposed Foreign Military Sale should be directed to the State Department’s Bureau of Political Military Affairs, Office of Congressional and Public Affairs, pm-cpa@state.gov.
I dream that one day the word "agency" will be removed leaving: Australia, Italy and others halt funding to U.N. over claim staff involved in Hamas attack on Israel
“UNRWA plays a critical role in providing lifesaving assistance to Palestinians, including essential food, medicine, shelter, and other vital humanitarian support.”
Such BS.
1. Probably 90% of that aid gets diverted to tunnel-building and Jew killing.
2. Why don’t the Palis build an economy like Israel, Singapore or Dubai? Why are they destined to forever suck off the world’s teat? It’s an endless sinkhole of funding to murderous people who have no intention of joining the world community.
From what I can tell it means they crossed the border and engaged or directly aided the terror attack. The evidence I think comes from the video footage. Many if not most of the UNRWA workers in Gaza are Gazans. Something like 30,000 employees almost all locals.
They all knew for nearly 2 decades as Hamas took international aid and built tunnels and stashed weapons and rockets inside and underneath UN schools, clinics, food banks etc. UN didn’t care.
Trump cut off aid to UNRWA he knew what was going on. They called him cruel, racist etc. Biden hastily reversed the decision like he did most of Trump’s policies - for spite. And to restore the flow of graft to the cronies.
[[The U.S. underlined that “UNRWA plays a critical role in providing lifesaving assistance to Palestinians, including essential food, medicine, shelter, and other vital humanitarian support.”]]
But nothing for Jews who get attacked consistently by palestine?
Strange way to describe racial extermination of Jews. The U.N., latest repository of modern Nazis.
And, award the NYC building to the 47th, DJTrump, to dispose of in a real estate auction.
I’d die happy after seeing that.:)
Most likely. UN bosses and donors probably would not turn off the money for putting up posters. It’s possible they gathered intel for Hamas, which is also bad.
