Israel Plans Moves at UN after Anti-Israel Resolution

(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner - Israel plans to target the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which Jerusalem says is investing a great deal of manpower and resources to undermine and harm the State of Israel. According to the Israeli government, there is evidence to indicate teachers and other workers in the agency regularly incite the Palestinian population against Israel. Israel will also seek to adjourn the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP), which Jerusalem says is a UN body whose entire purpose is to "preserve the Palestinian narrative." Israel will also work to cancel appointments of anti-Israel officials at the UN who regularly make statements against Israel, at times using anti-Semitic language. Israel will promote a UN resolution that would set rules of conduct for UN employees to make them accountable for any statements that exceed their mandate, including ones that incite to violence or are anti-Semitic. Israel will work to cancel the funding for a March 2016 decision made by the UN Human Rights Council to compile a "blacklist" of businesses operating in Israel. Israel hopes the new U.S. administration will be able to help facilitate these moves. The U.S. funds 22.4% of the UN budget.
