Why Does UNRWA Operate in Areas Governed by the Palestinian Authority?
(Jerusalem Post) Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon - Over the past year, multiple UNRWA employees have been caught working for Hamas. Suhail al-Hindi, who served as chairman of the UNRWA staff union in Gaza and principal of an UNRWA boys' elementary school, was forced to resign last April. Numerous UNRWA teachers, counselors and other employees have been caught glorifying terrorism and inciting hatred and violence on social media and in the classroom. In countries where Palestinians have been granted citizenship, the refugee status should be revoked and aid should instead be provided to the host country to assist in their absorption and acclimation. Moreover, there is absolutely no justification for UNRWA's operation in areas governed by the Palestinian Authority.
