Philippe Lazzarini, former director of UNRWA, states that the novelty lies not in the violation of international law, but in the fact that it is done openly and with a certain pride. #BrowserIssues #NetworkConnectivity #AdBlockers (translated)
The author said they had a positive exchange with Christian Saunders about UNRWA’s role in supporting Palestinian refugees.

Jari Mäkäräinen criticized Yle for what he perceived as giving Timo R. Stewart, whom he describes as a Hamas activist, an unchallenged platform to present his book. According to Mäkäräinen, the article adopted Stewart's view regarding the destruction of Gaza, genocide, and Finland's responsibility due to trade with Israel, without hearing the opposing side. Mäkäräinen emphasized that, in his opinion, genocide does not equate to heavy war. He wrote that the International Court of Justice had not ruled on the case against Israel and that interim measures were not a judgment. In his view, civilian casualties can occur in urban warfare where Hamas places rockets, command centers, and tunnels among civilians without the intent of destroying the group. He compared this to the battles of Mosul, Raqqa, and Fallujah, claiming that Stewart began using the term genocide after Israel succeeded in its war against Hamas. According to Mäkäräinen, the Yle article also lacked the starting point of the war: the attack on October 7, in which he claims over 1,200 people died, and which involved rapes and kidnappings. He wrote that Hamas aims for the end of Israel instead of a Palestinian state. He criticized the figures presented by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the article—over 21,600 by December 2023 and over 1,400 after ceasefires—and claimed that the ministry was subordinate to Hamas and that its figures did not differentiate between fighters and civilians. In his view, the article also lacked Israel's perspective that a significant portion of the dead were fighters. Regarding the two-state model, Mäkäräinen wrote that its failure was not solely due to Israel. He claimed that Hamas had rejected the model multiple times and that the Palestinian Authority had turned down offers, such as at Camp David in 2000 and Annapolis in 2008. He added that according to polls, the majority of both Palestinians and Israelis had abandoned the model. He described the cessation of support for UNRWA as a reaction to an organization that, according to him, had ample evidence of connections between its facilities and personnel to Hamas. Mäkäräinen believed that Yle, as a publicly funded media, should not advertise a single essayist as an expert. According to him, the article could have included opposing researchers, Israel's official stance, or addressed Hamas's responsibility for hostages and the use of civilians as shields. He concluded by asking why this had not been done. https://t.co/sHriNitmMo #Gaza #Israel #Hamas (translated)

Syyksi Lindtman mainitsi myös sen, että ulkomaankauppa- ja kehitysministeri Ville Tavion (ps.) päätti lakkauttaa Suomen tuen YK:n palestiinalaisjärjestö UNRWA:lle, sekä puolustusministeri Antti Häkkäsen (kok.) matkan Israeliin. #Lähi-itä #SDP #epäluottamus
Lindtman pitää ongelmallisena myös hallituksen erimielisyyttä Israelin siirtokuntia koskevassa lausunnossa sekä sitä, että ulkomaankauppa- ja kehitysministeri Ville Tavion (ps.) päätti lakkauttaa Suomen tuen YK:n palestiinalaisjärjestö UNRWA:lle, vaikka Suomi vaatii samalla EU:ssa humanitäärisen tuen jatkamista. #Lähi-itä #politiikka #SDP
At #UNGA81, I reaffirmed the EU’s support for @UNRWA and its vital work for 6 million Palestine refugees across the region. We have already disbursed our €82 million contribution for this year.

Trenta per cento. È la quota di aiuti umanitari su ciò che entra a Gaza secondo la stima data all'AFP da Christian Saunders, commissario generale ad interim dell'UNRWA, l'agenzia Onu per i rifugiati palestinesi: il resto è merce commerciale a volte di lusso, mentre Israele rende https://t.co/LoyxKuWGtZ #Gaza #AiutiUmanitari #UNRWA #IL #PS #IL
In the volatile context of the Middle East, @UNRWA remains a critical, stabilizing presence. But its capacity to act is seriously imperilled. Member States must take immediate action. I‘m counting on their unwavering political & financial support to protect UNRWA’s mandate and #MiddleEast #UNRWA #SupportForUNRWA #IL #PS #JO #SY #LB

L'articolo di Benedetta Scuderi evidenzia la drammatica invisibilità dei palestinesi nei campi profughi in Libano, dove affrontano gravi restrizioni sui diritti fondamentali e una crescente negligenza da parte delle autorità, mentre l'UNRWA faticano a fornire servizi essenziali a causa di una mancanza di finanziamenti. #Libano #Palestinesi #UNRWA

L'UNRWA, un Etat dans l'Etat onusien, doit disparaitre. Les Palestiniens sont le seul peuple au monde a bénéficier d'une institution dédiée (les Kurdes? Les Ouïghours? Les Rohingyas?) , institution que le Hamas (la cause palestinienne est désormais islamisée) à mis à son service #UNRWA #Palestine #Hamas #PS #KW #UG #MM #IQ #IL
