The US Senate cut aid to UNRWA

, the US Senate finally presented the package of border security and foreign aid worth 118 billion and 300 million dollars without allocating funds for the Palestinian Refugees Relief and Labor Organization.

In this aid package, there is no budget for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA). Because the Zionist regime has falsely accused 12 of its employees of being involved in the October 7 attack by Hamas against this regime.

One of the advisers of the Senate and a source familiar with this package stated that no funds have been allocated for UNRWA in this aid package because the investigation into Israel’s claim regarding the involvement of dozens of former employees of this organization in the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel is still ongoing. flow However, the final amount of humanitarian aid allocated to the people of Gaza has not decreased. Last week, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres He announced that 9 former employees of this organization, who are facing this charge, have been fired and 2 others have died.

Also in this package, 10 billion dollars to send humanitarian aid to provide water, food, shelter and medical aid for Ukrainian civilians and Innocent civilians of Gaza are considered. Protective solutions have also been considered to prevent these humanitarian aid shipments from falling into the hands of Hamas militants and other groups.

Meanwhile Last week, Senator Bernie Sanders asked the US government not to cancel aid to this humanitarian organization. He warned that this will create a humanitarian crisis.

He pointed out that it is clearly unacceptable that all 13 thousand UNRWA employees were killed in the attack. October 7 were involved and only the charges against these 12 people should be investigated. We cannot allow millions of people to suffer because of the actions of 12 people.

At the same time, Kenneth Roth, former director of Human Rights Watch noted Suspension of aid to UNRWA is not an appropriate response. If some employees of a police department commit a crime, someone will hold them accountable and start an investigation against them and not disband the entire police force.

Previously, Human Rights Watch with reference Stressing that the allegations against UNRWA staff are very dangerous and that the United Nations is taking them seriously, the suspension of financial aid to the organization responsible for providing emergency food and water to more than 2.3 million people in Gaza is callous indifference to It shows the warnings of experts about the danger of imminent famine in the Gaza Strip.

This organization also in response to The sanctions imposed by the US and its allies against UNRWA stated that governments should continue to financially support UNRWA; Because this organization plays an important role in preventing a major humanitarian disaster and the risk of famine in the Gaza Strip.

while since the beginning of the Gaza war UNRWA, like other international organizations, has not been able to provide an acceptable performance in helping the people of Gaza in the shadow of the barbaric aggression of the Zionist regime and the heavy siege against this region. Over the past few days, news has been circulating in the Western and Zionist media that a number of UNRWA employees participated in the Palestinian resistance operation under the title “Al-Aqsa Storm” on October 7, 2023.

In a situation where there is no evidence and witness to confirm this claim, countries such as America, England, Italy and several other countries that support the crimes of the Zionist occupation in Gaza In a joint statement, they announced that they will stop their annual aid to UNRWA. It is noteworthy that this action of the United States, Europe and the Zionist regime took place shortly after the International Court of Justice issued a verdict against this regime for its crimes in Gaza, and this issue gives rise to the hypothesis that Israel by accusing UNRWA It plans to cover up its legal and diplomatic failure in the case of South Africa’s complaint against this regime at the Hague International Court.

While America and many of its allied countries with support Regarding the Zionist regime’s false accusations against UNRWA, they have sanctioned this organization and cut off its financial budget, United Nations spokesman Stephen Dujarric said that Israel has not yet submitted written documents about its accusations against a number of UNRWA employees. >.

In addition, this $118 billion aid package includes $60 billion in aid to Ukraine, $1.14 billion in aid to Israel, aid to Indo-Pacific allies, and a bipartisan border security agreement. It is.

Senator Chuck Schumer stated that without American aid to Ukraine, Putin will reach Eastern Europe. Providing aid to Ukraine is essential.

In the $20 billion border security agreement, the government is allowed to do so when the number of illegal immigrants who cross the southern border of Mexico with the United States every day, to exceed the limit, to deport them. Also, the policy of arresting and releasing immigrants should be ended and the standards required for asylum applications should be increased and the process of examining this application should be accelerated.

Mike Johnson In response to this package, the American representatives wrote on X social network: This package is even worse than what we expected. This package is dead on arrival in Congress.

He added: I have read enough of this bill. This bill is worse than we expected and has done nothing to end the border crisis that President Biden is causing. According to this bill, the borders will never be closed.

He emphasized that if this bill reaches Congress, it will be dead on arrival.

while about ten Yesterday President Joe Biden said that the border bill being negotiated in the Senate is the “toughest and fairest” set of possible reforms in It’s a border rule and I support it.

Earlier The White House agreed to new restrictions on asylum seekers at the border, three sources familiar with the matter said. These restrictions include the creation of the power to deport refugees who have entered illegally through the Mexican border with the United States, and if more than 4,000 immigrants enter the United States this way every day, these immigrants will be quickly returned to Mexico. .

while The differences between the Joe Biden administration and the state of Texas have escalated following a ruling by the state of Texas in favor of the Biden administration, leading to warnings of civil war. .

A few days ago, the justices of the US Supreme Court temporarily allowed the border patrol agents to remove the barbed wire on the border with Mexico, which was put up to prevent the crossing of illegal immigrants.

The decision of the Supreme Court angered many Texans It is encouraging that they support Republican Governor Greg Abbott’s actions to fight illegal immigration in this state.

Barbed wire on the Mexico-US border at the expense of the guard The Texas National is drawn as part of Operation Lone Star (the nickname of the state of Texas), which was an initiative by the Republican governor of the state, Greg Abbott, which was drawn in 2021 with the aim of preventing illegal immigrants from crossing the border. /span>.

American Republicans have repeatedly criticized the policies of the Biden administration in They have criticized the issue of immigrants and illegal immigrants crossing the Mexican border, an issue that has intensified on the eve of the presidential election in November of this year, and Biden’s opponents are looking to use this issue to destroy Biden.
