Kernow DamoUNRWA Just Stood Its Ground — And Israel’s Having a MeltdownIsrael thought an opportunistic assault on UNRWA over unpaid taxes would put them in their place. It's not worked out well for them. Right, so Israel’s latest stunt - storming the UNRWA offices in East Jerusalem, cutting communications, and raising its own flag - isn’t about overdue bills or taxes. That’s the official line, but we’re not here for Israel’s script. This was a test of a much bigger lie: that Israel operates within the rules, that UN protections matter, and that international law is anything more than a nice idea for when it’s convenient...

The U.S. has accused UNRWA of having links with Hamas, an allegation the agency has denied. Current discussions may focus on sanctioning the entire agency or specific officials, which could severely isolate UNRWA...

Auf den PunktUNRWA-Verbot: Eindrücke aus einem palästinensischen Flüchtlingslager
Ende Oktober hat das israelische Parlament beschlossen, das UN-Palästinenserhilfswerks UNRWA zu verbieten. Ende Januar tritt das Gesetz in Kraft, dann darf das Hilfswerk in Israel nicht mehr arbeiten. Mit weitreichenden Folgen für die 2,3 Millionen Palästinenserinnen und Palästinenser im Gazastreifen und 875 000 im Westjordanland.
SZ-Reporter Thorsten Schmitz berichtet in dieser Folge von “Auf den Punkt” von seiner Recherche in Israel zur Bedeutung der UNRWA. Er war dafür unter anderem in der UNRWA-Zentrale – und in einem palästinensischen Flüchtlingslager.

Effetti collateraliUNRWA/Israele, la diatriba sui profughi palestinesiIn questo episodio di "Effetti Collaterali", analizziamo le recenti normative approvate dalla Knesset, il parlamento israeliano, che complicano notevolmente l’attività dell’UNRWA, l’Agenzia delle Nazioni Unite per il soccorso ai rifugiati palestinesi. Queste leggi, entrate in vigore il 28 ottobre, vietano qualsiasi cooperazione con l'UNRWA in territorio israeliano, sollevando interrogativi su chi garantirà l'assistenza essenziale ai palestinesi a Gaza e in Cisgiordania.Racconteremo come si è sviluppata questa lunga diatriba, che negli anni ha visto contrapposte le posizioni del governo israeliano e dell'UNRWA, e approfondiremo il ruolo dell’amministrazione statunitense, in particolare durante la presidenza di Donald Trump, che ha appoggia...

The answer is not clear. Since the October 7 attack launched by Hamas against Israel, the UN agency has been at the heart of a controversy that puts its survival at risk. In October, lawmakers from the Knesset – Israel’s parliament - passed legislation that banned the agency from operating in Israeli territory months after claiming that 12 UNRWA staff members had been involved in the 7 October attack.

To Save Us From HellWhat Happens if UNRWA Shuts Down?UNRWA is a unique humanitarian agency. It is both a humanitarian relief provider for millions of Palestinians across several countries, and in many places, it functions as a de facto municipal government, providing services like schools, healthcare, and trash collection. Together, UNRWA provides a social safety net for 2.5 million people in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza.And now, all of that might end.Earlier this week, the Knesset passed a bill that would effectively force UNRWA to cease operations in the Occupied Territories and Gaza.

Two bills were passed on Tuesday with overwhelming majorities: the first to halt the relief agency’s activities in Israel and occupied East Jerusalem, and the second to ban the Israeli state from interacting with the organisation.
The move would make it almost impossible for UNRWA to operate in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. It would hinder the agency’s financial operations and break aid supply chains into the enclave, where the north has alread...

Mehdi UnfilteredEXCLUSIVE: Mehdi Speaks to UNRWA Head. ‘People in Gaza Waiting for Their Turn To Be Killed’In an exclusive interview with ‘Mehdi Unfiltered,’ the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, speaks to Mehdi on the threats that face both Palestinians in Gaza and his own organization. “I don't know how much worse it can become, I have to say, we are losing and we are lacking words to describe the situation,” says Lazzarini. UNRWA is currently fighting a polio outbreak in Gaza, but a successful vaccination campaign there is nearly impossible given Israel’s bombardment. “This is a communicable disease which doesn't know any border and could also spread i...

Maccabee Nation PodcastHow UNRWA perpetuates conflict in the Middle EastIt’s time to confront the harsh reality: UNRWA is not just flawed; it is fundamentally dangerous. For those who may be unaware, UNRWA , stands for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, and began operating in 1950. It is funded mostly by UN member states with the intention of providing education, health care, and social services. In reality, UNRWA perpetuates the conflict by employing radicals who teach hate, and by helping to obscure terrorist plots and infrastructure. At times, members of UNRWA we’ve recently learned have also directly participated in terrorist acts...

Terrorist Threat Tracker - United States"Israel Declares War on UNRWA: Knesset Moves to Designate Agency as Terrorist Organization"In a significant legislative move, the Knesset, Israel's parliament, has passed a preliminary bill defining the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) as a terrorist organization. This bill, if passed in its final reading, would lead to the abolition of immunities and privileges currently afforded to UNRFA employees.The implications of this legislation are profound. Should the bill become law, it will integrate the United Nations agency under the scope of Israel's Anti-Terrorism Legislation, thereby altering the operational landscape for UNRWA significantly. Under the Anti-Terrorism Law, any entity designated as...

A UN investigation resulted in one of the 19 cases being closed and four suspended due to a lack of evidence. Of the 12 staff members initially accused by Israel, 10 of them were fired by UNRWA, while the other two were killed. Israeli claims that 10% of UNRWA employees have ties to Hamas have yet to be substantiated.

The Honest ReportWhy We Are Suing The Federal Government For Funding UNRWA: A Fireside Chat With Richard Marceau, VP & General Counsel, Centre For Israel And Jewish AffairsFor years, Israel has accused UNRWA, the disgraced United Nations agency, of ties to Palestinian terrorism and incitement and glorification of violence.
But only after the massacres of October 7 did the UN agency, officially tasked with providing aid to Palestinians, get into the larger spotlight.
Israel has accused - and provided evidence for - UNRWA staff of participating in Hamas' massacre, and has pointed to a huge Hamas data centre built directly underneath the agency's Gaza City headquarters, as well as satellite photos of schools built on top of Hamas bunkers, and much more.

Further, refugee status for Palestinians is inherited, which is also unique among the refugees. Over the years, David and his team of both Jewish and Arab investigators have documented how UNRWA money goes unaccounted for, and how their schools teach children to hate and to want to kill jews.
