Netanyahu: "The Time Has Come to Disband UNRWA"
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, referring to a Hamas tunnel discovered earlier this month under two UNRWA schools in Gaza, told the Israeli Cabinet on Sunday that he told visiting U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley that "the time has come for the UN to reconsider the continued existence of UNRWA." He said the UN has a refugee agency, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which has dealt since World War II with millions of refugees around the world. Palestinians have their own separate agency, UNRWA, which also incites against Israel. "I regret that UNRWA, to a large degree, by its very existence, perpetuates...the Palestinian refugee problem," he said. "Therefore, the time has come to disband UNRWA and integrate it into the UNHCR."
