The failure of the Zionist regime in building a consensus against the UNRWA relief agency
| After 5 months of the war, it seems that despite the continuous efforts of the Zionist regime to attack UNRWA, Western countries are gradually realizing the bad intentions of the Israeli authorities and are trying to reconsider their previous policy and cooperate with UNRWA. start |
According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency, one One of the main dimensions of Israel’s psychological war to delegitimize the Palestinian cause and institutions active in this field was the attack on UNRWA as the only United Nations relief and employment agency for Palestinians.
The Al-Aqsa storm operation is one of the few major events in the 75-year history of the Israeli-Palestinian struggle, in which the Palestinian side took the initiative and the occupation regime of Jerusalem was not the initiator and primary planner. The Israeli regime also tried to make this issue the basis of its psychological war against the Palestinian resistance and by being in the oppressed position, create an international consensus against Hamas and other resistance groups as well as Palestinian supporting institutions. One of the most important parts of this psychological war against UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East) was included in Israel’s agenda.
UNRWA is considered the largest arm of the United Nations for humanitarian aid to the Palestinians, which is active in areas such as the construction and management of schools, medical centers and settlements for refugees. The number of employees of this agency has exceeded 13,000 people, and at present, about 3,000 of them are still engaged in providing aid inside the Gaza Strip.
UNRWA had officially announced that if this situation continues, this agency will be forced to end In February 2024 (last month), it will end its work and close most of its offices. But at the same time as this wave of sanctions, Spain, Belgium, Norway, Portugal, Saudi Arabia and Turkey announced their decision to continue helping UNRWA. EU foreign policy official Josep Borrell also announced that the EU, which was the third largest supporter of UNRWA in 2022, will continue funding the Palestinian aid agency after the results of the UN investigation on UNRWA become clear.
But in the following months, in parallel with the two events, the policy of some of Israel’s allied governments also changed regarding UNRWA sanctions; First of all, no evidence was presented by Israel to prove that this agency cooperated with the resistance groups in an organized manner, and secondly, the occurrence of horrific scenes of genocide and war crimes by the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip created an atmosphere of sympathy and empathy with this regime in the countries As a result, the countries of Switzerland, France, Denmark, New Zealand and Poland announced that they are waiting for the results to continue providing financial aid to UNRWA. The investigation is about Israel’s accusation against this agency. On the other hand, Canada and Sweden, who announced the suspension of their financial aid to UNRWA in the first months of the war, revised their policy and resumed financing UNRWA.
The Zionist regime criticized this decision of Sweden and Canada, accusing these two countries of ignoring the evidence of UNRWA’s collusion with Hamas. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also stated that Ottawa waited for the results of the UN investigation of UNRWA, and emphasized that UNRWA will resume funding due to the agency’s vital role in providing aid to the Gaza Strip. The Swedish government has also announced that after examining the staff and clarifying UNRWA’s accounts, Stockholm will provide financial assistance of 20 million dollars to this agency for 2024.
The European Union has also announced in recent weeks, so 50 million euros will be provided to the agency from two independent inspections of UNRWA by the union’s experts. The Zionist regime has also condemned this decision of the European Union and demanded that Brussels withdraw from it. Widespread sanctions and termination of cooperation of different countries with UNRWA, which was based more than anything on the false media propaganda of the Zionist regime, the heads of these countries gradually observed the realities of the battle scene, including Tel Aviv’s efforts to stop the mechanisms of sending humanitarian aid to Gaza. , as well as the attack of the Israeli army fighters on the international aid convoy in Al-Nablesi Square in Gaza, while revising their previous approaches, they are gradually trying to marginalize the media campaign of the Zionist regime against this international organization, and their financial aid. to resume UNRWA. Meanwhile, the media of the Zionist regime revealed yesterday the efforts of the army of this regime in order to define a mechanism based on which the ground for stopping the activities of UNRWA in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip will be implemented until the point of complete dissolution of this organization.
