"The United States transferred $135 million to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) on Saturday. This was in addition to the nearly $33 million that it gave to the organization in May to help the Gaza Strip, ravaged by Hamas rockets and Israel’s response to them during 'Operation Guardian of the Walls.'
The latest cash bonanza also came three months after Washington provided an initial gift of $150 million to 'restore' the aid that was cut in 2018 by then-President Donald Trump.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken had announced with great fanfare that doing so would be part of the new administration’s efforts to repair America’s relations with the Palestinian Authority.

As UNRWA’s largest donor, the United States has sway that it hadn’t bothered to leverage until Trump came along and made the money contingent on comprehensive reforms.

It’s this special status that has led to an outrageous situation, whereby the number of Palestinian 'refugees' hasn’t declined over the decades but has increased exponentially. So, UNRWA continues to provide 'relief, human development and protection services' to people who aren’t 'refugees' by any measure other than a fabricated one..."
