During a two-hour meeting in Paris with French President Emmanuel Macron, Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu declares very clearly that Jerusalem will not allow, under any circumstances, for Iran to establish ground or air bases for their soldiers in Syria, or Lebanon.

White Paper: The Case For Dismantling UNRWA

Instead of being a solution for the Palestinian refugee problem, UNRWA has become a facilitator for its eternal perpetuation. Without UNRWA, these Arab refugees, and certainly their children, grandchildren, & great-grandchildren, would have resettled in their Arab host countries, or elsewhere in the world, decades ago.

Dismantle UNRWA by 

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In a surprising change of policy, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has called for the dismantling of UNRWA. Such a move could benefit both Israel and the peace process. The new US administration might change its decades-old policy as well.
