With help from the new Donald Trump US administration Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu plans to target UNRWA the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People and all anti-Israeli UN employees as well as cut funding for UN agencies.
According to Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper on Monday Netanyahu decided to take several punitive measures against the UN on Sunday night in retaliation to its Security Council resolution that calls for ending settlement construction.
Netanyahu also instructed his ministers not to hold meetings with ministers from countries that supported the Security Council motion including Britain France Spain Japan Ukraine and Russia or travel there.
In addition he ordered foreign ministry officials to reduce contact with the embassies of those countries.
He justified his intent to target the UNRWA by accusing the agency of investing a great deal of manpower and resources to undermine and harm Israel.
He claims that UNRWA teachers and other employees regularly incite the Palestinian population against Israel.
