Filippo Grandi and Government Works

Israeli-Palestinian conflict: The high commissioner comments come as the government works to return to its role as an honest broker in the region, according to Globe and Mail. This is a catch-all ASF view; only displays when an unsupported article type is put in an ASF drop zone In the political desert of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, in terms of solutions, you need at least to give some hope to the Palestinians, and much of that hope, I’m afraid, these days comes from the education programs of UNRWA, the health programs that are provided to the Palestinian refugees, Mr. Filippo Grandi, who also served as the head of the UN Relief and Works Agency from 2010 to 2014, said he hopes Canada will revive its funding for the organization, which was set up in 1950 to help Palestinian refugees. Grandi said in an interview with The Globe and Mail. Last month, The Globe reported that the Liberals are considering providing $15-million in annual funding to UNRWA. International Development Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau has indicated an openness to restoring the funding, but a spokesman for her office said the government has not made a decision yet. I hope that this government will consider becoming again the strong supporter that Canada used to be. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
