A month after Canada temporarily halted funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, some Israeli politicians want Ottawa to make the funding freeze permanent.
Sharren Haskel, the Canadian-born member of Israel’s Knesset, said in an interview that Canada — as a significant backer of the contentious relief agency for Palestinians — should help lead the way by stop sending UNRWA money.
UNRWA should be defunded. End of story.
Will Trudeau do the right thing even if it means alienating the Hamas vote bloc?
Of course not.
This is what happens when all aid is controlled by @UNRWA and goes to Hamas only https://t.co/Bwx1AIkBHY
