Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister on Tuesday called on the international community to fundamentally rethink its support for UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, in a briefing with 50 foreign dignitaries, JNS reported.

“Israel’s policy is to close UNRWA. They are the problem, not the solution,” said Tzipi Hotovely. “Over the years, we have seen how instead of settling the original refugees, UNRWA has acted to increase the number of refugees, as it did when it automatically transferred refugee status from generation to generation,” the minister added.

In her remarks, Hotovely praised the decision by the United States for demanding that UNRWA undergoes a “fundamental re-examination” of its mandate and for cutting all aid to the organization over its perpetuation of the refugee problem.
