The Spin

Pro-Palestine narrative

The decision to halt all funding to the UNRWA will push Gaza to the brink of famine. Israel has already hindered the agency from helping the Palestinian people by bombing several of its locations, but now the humanitarian body could run out of all supplies within a month. This is not about punishing Hamas but starving Palestinians.

Pro-Israel narrative

Reports into what some of these UNRWA staff did on the day of Oct. 7 are appalling, and at the very least, fall way below the standard expected by the UN. Funding to UNRWA should be halted until this mess is cleaned up and the agency is replaced with a more appropriate humanitarian delivery structure.
