Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat is participating Wednesday in a special session of the Knesset Internal Affairs Committee regarding the removal of UNRWA from Jerusalem.
"UNRWA is strengthening terrorism," Bareket said in the discussion. "I am revealing here a textbook that was taught in their schools and praising the terrorist Dalal Mughrabi of the blood bus in Herzliya, which murdered 38 civilians. This is what the children of Jerusalem are taught under their responsibility. terrorism. And that must be stopped. "
"The time has come to remove UNRWA from Jerusalem and replace their failing education, welfare, health and cleaning services with municipal services. This is also the desire of the Arab residents themselves. The time has come to stop the lies of the refugees in Jerusalem. There are no refugees but residents and they have to receive the services from the municipality like any other resident. President Trump's decision to cut support for UNRWA creates a window of opportunity for implementing the plan and putting an end to historical distortion."
