UAE massively cut aid to Palestinians after normalization with Israel
|
[IsraelTimes] TV report, confirmed by UNRWA, says funds dropped from some $50 million a year to just $1 million in 2020, in possible retribution for Paleostinian animosity over peace deal.
The United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have substantially cut back funding for the UN agency for Paleostinian refugees following their normalization with Israel, in possible "Dire Revenge" for the Paleostinians’ bitter condemnation of the move, Channel 12 news reported Friday.
Citing the Center for Near East Policy Research, an Israeli NGO, the network said that while the UAE sent the United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) $53 million in 2018 and $51 million in 2019, it provided the agency a mere $1 million in 2020.
UNRWA confirmed the data to Channel 12.
The report said Bahrain too had cut funds, but did not provide any figures.
The normalization accords signed last fall infuriated the Paleostinians, who condemned them as a "stab in the back" and a "betrayal."
The Paleostinian ambassadors to the Emirates and Bahrain were recalled in August and September, respectively, in the immediate aftermath of the Gulf states’ announcement that they were normalizing ties with Israel, only to quietly return them in November.

...Oh, noze! Not him!...
, the United States also halted its support for UNRWA, leaving it with an expected annual deficit of $200 million.
In January, Washington’s interim UN envoy, Richard Mills, said Presidentuae Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
 ...Candidate for president in 2020. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids. ...
intends to "restore US assistance programs that support economic development and humanitarian aid for the Paleostinian people," without mentioning UNRWA.
