As a sign of what a fucking mess Israel is internally right now, here’s Netanyahu today:
“UNRWA officials were complicit in the massacre, and I think it’s time that the international community and the U.N. itself understand that UNRWA’s mission has to end,” he told a group of visitors in Jerusalem, in a video released on social media by his office.
“If UNRWA ceases operating on the ground, this could cause a humanitarian catastrophe that would force Israel to halt its fighting against Hamas,” the senior Israeli official said, briefing The Times of Israel on condition of anonymity. “This would not be in Israel’s interest and it would not be in the interest of Israel’s allies either.”
And:
“Having said all of that, UNRWA is currently the international organization that plays the most dominant role in the entry and delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza, and because there currently is no alternative, Israel is not pushing to shut down UNWRA,” the official explained.
