Les dépités US ont voté pour suspendre l'aide étasunienne à l' #UNWRA pendant 1 an, jusqu'en mars 2025.
Alors même que les pays qui avaient dans un 1er temps suspendu leur contribution après les accusations d'Israël, ont repris les versements devant l'absence de preuves données par le gouvernement d'extrême-droite de #Netanyahu.
Israël estime qu'elle n'a pas à apporter de preuves puisqu'elle est une démocratie alliée, que sa parole suffit et qu'exiger d'elle qu'elle prouve ses allégations relève de l'acharnement anti-israélien.

The House of Representatives voted on Friday to defund the United Nations agency that aids Palestinians through next year — even as 1.1 million people in Gaza face threats of famine in coming months — on the basis of flimsy allegations by Israel against a tiny minority of the agency’s staff that have yet to be proven.
Just last week, the European Union’s top humanitarian aid official said he has still not seen evidence from Israel to back its accusations — nearly two months after they were made.

"The British government has a plan in place to resume funding to the United Nations' agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, Middle East Eye has learnt from a parliamentary source with direct knowledge of the matter...
A second source told MEE that a little over a week after the UK announced it was pausing its funding to the UN agency, Foreign Secretary David Cameron acknowledged the decision had been "too hasty" and was looking for face-saving measures to reinstate it..."

US calls for 'fundamental changes' before #UNRWAFunding resumes

While the entire population of the Gaza Strip is on the brink of starvation and famine, several countries decided to freeze their funds to The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which over two million Palestinians in and outside of Gaza depend on for their survival. The decision by the 14 Western countries and close allies of Israel only exacerbates the already dire situation caused by Israel’s war of extermination against the enclave.
