More perfect evidence of why America needs to get out of the business of trying to aid so many causes around the world.
According to the US Department of State there is official oversight of UNRWA in place with alleged continuous vigilance to keep UNRWA (American) money from aiding and abbeting terrorist causes and going to the humanitarian causes it should go to. But it certainly appears that “oversight” is failing.
President Trump is correct to be making the moves he has on this budgets UNRWA funds. Letting a limited amount out, directed to the most basic needs, food, shelter, medical. Then holding the balance back until UNRWA can do a better accounting of how the money is being spent. More, in the State Departments communication they have suggested, essentially, that if the delay of US funds is going to disrupt schooling and such then the UN should seek monies from other Nations. Nations who support UNRWA activities but spend no money to aid in those activities.
Good on Trump.
