MK Michael Oren (Kulanu) praised President Trump's decision to cut funds the US gives UNWRA after Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' anti-Israel speech earlier this week. "President Trump's decision to cut UNRWA's budget is an excellent decision for us and for the entire Middle East," Oren told Arutz Sheva. "UNWRA is a corrupt and inflated organization that perpetuates a refugee problem that does not exist. "
"According to their count, there are five million refugees in the Middle East, and we must remember that there are almost no refugees from 1948 who live today. How did they reach five million? Because only in UNRWA does the refugee status go from father to son and to the grandson, and every Palestinian refugee receives three times the budget of every other refugee in the world, including refugees from Syria" added Oren.
