(National Review) Jimmy Quinn - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted on Jan. 14: "We suspended funding to UNRWA, which is riddled with waste, fraud & concerns of support to terrorism. UNRWA is not a refugee agency; it's estimated <200,000 Arabs displaced in 1948 are still alive and most others are not refugees by any rational criteria." UNRWA says it serves 5.8 million Palestinian refugees. Richard Goldberg, a senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, noted that "most people served by UNRWA...are either citizens of other countries or live within Palestinian territories. Most were not displaced by conflict."
