Israel, U.S. to Push for UNRWA Oversight at UN
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - Israel and the U.S. are heading a diplomatic effort to increase oversight of UNRWA, the agency that services Palestinian refugees, when its mandate is renewed in December, according to Israel's Mission to the UN. "UNRWA is a burden on the international community," Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon told the Jerusalem Post on Wednesday. "It utilizes the world's funds for disseminating lies and false narratives against the State of Israel and systematically ignores fulfilling the goal for which it was established. Until the UNRWA gates are permanently closed, we will work with all the tools at our disposal to increase oversight."
