Description
Trump Administration Mulls Sanctions on UNRWA: A Move That Raises Legal and Humanitarian ConcernsThe Trump administration is reportedly considering imposing terrorism-related sanctions on the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA, which operates in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria. This move has been met with serious concerns within the State Department, as UNRWA provides essential aid, schooling, healthcare, and shelter to millions of Palestinians. The U.S. has accused UNRWA of having links with Hamas, an allegation the agency has denied. Current discussions may focus on sanctioning the entire agency or specific officials, which could severely isolate UNRWA financially and disrupt refugee relief efforts. The U.N. has acknowledged that nine UNRWA staff may have been involved in a Hamas attack, but no final decisions have been made.
