This week, heads of state gathered in Turtle Bay for the UN’s annual high-level week. If ever there was an opportunity for the world’s diplomatic juggernauts to jointly address the world’s most pressing geopolitical quagmires, this would be it.
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is right that this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to address world challenges and “reform outdated international institutions.” One of our outdated institutions
have to talk about UNRWA in Gaza.
ISRAEL’S AMBASSADOR HELPS WORLD BODY, UNRWA ANSWERED TO TERRORISTS IN GAZA
When it comes to Israel, the UN is not as interested in reducing tensions on Israel’s northern and southern borders as it is in rewarding terrorism and demonizing the Jewish State. To stand alone. To defend its people in the seven-region war, organized by the Islamic Republic of Iran, a Shiite supremacist empire that wants to achieve regional dominance, not diplomacy.
Israel’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Danny Danon spoke during the UN Security Council meeting on May 15, 2018, at the UN Headquarters in New York. – The US Ambassador to the United Nations on Tuesday told an emergency Security Council meeting on the violence in Gaza, that Israel’s allies have acted with restraint in the face of provocations from Hamas. “No country in this room will act with more restraint than Israel,” Nikki Haley told the Security Council. “In fact, the record of some countries here now suggests that it will be less controlled,” he said.

Tehran’s proxies – Hezbollah in the north, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, Shia militias in Iraq and Syria, and
terrorist cells in Judea and Samaria that dog attack Tehran, unleashed to
spreading death and chaos in the Middle East.
The Palestinian resolution approved by the General Assembly last week –
Demanding that Israel end its “unlawful presence in the Palestinian territories” while calling for sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel – shows why the United Nations offers little hope of promoting regional peace. The resolution is nothing short of diplomatic terrorism, designed to sabotage real peace efforts by diverting attention from punishing Hamas for fueling this 11-month war.
Instead of focusing on punishing Hamas for carrying out the single largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, the UN circus once again adheres to what is now a predictable, virulently anti-
Israeli script.
Peace is hard to come by when the UN remains intractable
the grim fact that one of the agencies, UNRWA in Gaza, has been overrun by Hamas terrorists. Therefore, and for the sake of peace for Israel and Gaza, UNRWA must be disbanded.
UNRWA’s mission is to promote human development in Palestine
through the achievement of five strategic outcomes, centered on protecting
refugee rights under international law; maintain their health; providing
education for school age children; provide a reasonable opportunity to earn a living; and providing food and shelter provisions to the people of Gaza.
But since its establishment in 1949, UNRWA has failed miserably to achieve this goal. UNRWA has failed to improve the lives of Gazans, and it has failed to prevent Hamas terrorists from hijacking the agency’s operations in Gaza.
How UNRWA maintains the health of Gazans or provides high quality
educational opportunities when defeated by terrorists who use schools not to teach but as Hamas command and control centers?

The preponderance of evidence indicates that terrorism in UNRWA has ended
little to convince the UN. On August 5, the UN recognized that nine UNRWA
employees likely to take part in the butchering of Hamas 1,200 people, which
including more than 30 Americans, on October 7.
Earlier this month, more local UNRWA workers were found masquerading as Hamas operatives. On a moral and professional level, UNRWA has failed Palestine, it has failed Israel, and it has failed the UN.
It is time to deploy a new agency in Gaza that focuses more on humanitarian efforts, and not on activism or, in some cases, terrorism. The latest polio campaign, led by UNICEF, the World Health Organization and the IDF, in which more than 600,000 Gazan children were vaccinated, shows that progress can be made when Israel works with partners interested in humanitarian efforts.

The war in Gaza will end when all remaining hostages return home, when Hamas is eliminated and when UNRWA is dismantled.
The reconstruction of Gaza will be done without Hamas and without Hamas
UNRWA.
