Trump’s Assault on RefugeesLONDON – The decision by US President Donald Trump’s administration to stop funding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has politicized humanitarian aid, threatens to add yet more fuel to one of the world’s most combustible conflicts, and jeopardizes the futures of a half-million
Palestinian
children and young people.
Beyond reducing substantially the UNRWA’s capacity to deliver basic services to
Palestinian
refugees, the shortage of resources will also threaten the already tenuous stability of the West Bank, Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan.
The administration also asserts that UNRWA is inflating the number of

side, the current intifada created a Young Guard that despises the Old Guard, represented by Yasir Arafat and the
Palestinian
Authority.
Unlike the members of the Old Guard who spent much of their lives outside the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the Young Guard is a product of domestic
Palestinian
society.
These, they argue, served to consolidate the Old Guard's domination of
Palestinian
politics.

Palestinian
