"The U.N. agency was created to perpetuate the conflict," MK Sharren Haskel tells E.U. lawmakers as 'Knesset’s Christian allies caucus calls to dismantle UNRWA.'<ref>Etgar Lefkovits, [https://www.jns.org/knessets-christian-allies-caucus-calls-to-dismantle-unrwa/ Knesset’s Christian Allies Caucus calls to dismantle UNRWA], ''JNS'', December 7, 2023.<blockquote><small>
The U.N. agency was created to perpetuate the conflict, MK Sharren Haskel tells E.U. lawmakers.
The United Nations has become an accomplice to Palestinian terrorism, and UNRWA, its organization that deals exclusively with Palestinian refugees and their descendants, needs to be dismantled, a leader of the Knesset’s Christian Allies Caucus told European parliamentarians on Wednesday.
The remarks come amid a groundswell of reports of terror ties among UNRWA officials following the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre, including an eyewitness account that a UNRWA school teacher held one of the Israeli hostages in the basement of his Gaza home and the discovery of missiles and other weapons hidden among UNRWA relief supplies.
“The most deeply engrained institution in Gaza—that allows for the indoctrination of Gaza youth, so that some of them eventually grew up to join Hamas, becoming the terrorists who raped women, beheaded men and took babies as hostages—is an international institution, which your governments fund,” Knesset member Sharren Haskel (National Unity) said in a keynote address to lawmakers at the European Parliament in Brussels.
“An accomplice to the indoctrination of Palestinians in Gaza, which culminated in the Hamas Oct. 7 massacre—is the United Nations, and specifically UNRWA,” she continued.
In her remarks, Haskel, who co-chairs the Knesset’s Christian Allies Caucus, called for a cutoff in E.U. funding, reiterating longstanding Israeli views that UNRWA was created to perpetuate the conflict by granting Palestinians refugee status seven and a half decades after the establishment of the State of Israel although no other persons in the world would qualify under the same circumstances.</small></blockquote></ref>
