Cabinet Meeting: Move Netanyahu and Israel

cabinet meeting: The development comes after Israeli media indicated that despite public declarations, Israel is concerned about the ramifications of such a move, according to The Chronicle Herald. Netanyahu says the organization perpetuates the Palestinian refugee problem and the right of return narrative, in order to eliminate the state of Israel. Netanyahu at his Sunday weekly Cabinet meeting also reiterated support for Trump's threat to cut aid to Palestinians. The U.S. is the largest donor to UNRWA, the U.N. agency that assists Palestinian refugees. Israel could find itself footing the bill. Ending the American aid could precipitate a humanitarian crisis, particularly in the impoverished Gaza Strip, where the majority of residents are eligible for UNRWA's support.
