'We support funding to PA, but not through UNRWA'

Senior officials in the Prime Minister's Office said on Friday evening that Israel supports the American move to stop funding for UNRWA, the UN agency for “Palestinian refugees”, but believes that a way must be found to transfer the money to other organizations or parties so that they can be used properly.

"Israel supports the American move. The fixation of the Palestinian refugees by UNRWA is one of the main problems perpetuating the conflict,” said the officials.
