Request to Continue Funding for UNRWA: Upholding Palestinian Rights

The recent suspension of funding for UNRWA, based on unfounded allegations of staff involvement in a Hamas attack, is deeply concerning. UNRWA provides vital humanitarian aid to Palestinians, a role that should not be undermined by baseless accusations. As the largest funder, the U.S. has a responsibility to ensure this aid continues. The decision to resume funding in 2021 was a commendable step, and it is crucial to maintain this commitment. Pausing this funding could lead to a loss of support from Arabian and Palestinian voters. Therefore, it is requested that the U.S. government continue its funding to UNRWA, ensuring that Palestinians do not suffer due to unsubstantiated claims. This approach aligns with the principle of prioritizing people's needs and upholding their rights.
