US President Donald Trump has decided to withdraw a country from the UN Human Rights Council and continue to stop financing the Middle East Agency for helping Palestinian refugees (Unrwa).
Reuters writes about it.
This step Trump coincided with Washington, the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyhah, who has long criticized Unrwa, accusing the agency of anti-Israeli propaganda and communication of his employees with terrorist activities against Israel.
Trump has already stopped UNRWA funding during his first presidential term (2017–2021).
Earlier, the White House published an newsletter stating that the UN Human Rights Council was not fulfilling its mission and used as a tool for protecting countries that commit serious human rights violations.
The document states that the Council is systematically biased to Israel, paying over and unfair attention to it.
The US has repeatedly accused the council of covering human rights violations in other countries, focusing mainly on Israel.
UNRWA Funding and Conflict in Gas
Trump’s decision followed by the administration of Joe Biden already suspended UNRWA funding after reporting on the involvement of the agency’s staff in the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7.
UNRWA remains the main organization that provides humanitarian aid in gas, but after the UN internal investigation has released several employees suspected of involvement in the attack.
