BREAKING: For the first time ever, an EU member state has voted to begun phasing out funding for UNRWA. The motion passed today by a huge majority of the Dutch Parliament—citing UNRWA's complicity with terrorism—now sets an important precedent for other countries to follow.
HISTORIC DEFEAT FOR UNRWA: 🇳🇱 Netherlands Parliament just voted 88-49 to phase out funding for UNRWA by 2029, citing its complicity with terror. This is first EU state to defund UNRWA, setting major precedent. We had presented key info ahead of the vote:

No joke: UN human rights office protests Israel flooding Hamas terror tunnels. They’re worried about “adverse human rights impacts.” . They’re not worried about thousands of Hamas terrorists sworn to repeat October 7th mass murder and rape. UN has become a parody of itself.

History will record that the UN human rights office never condemned Hamas using internationally-donated cement to build hundreds of miles of terror tunnels, instead of homes, hospitals and schools. It only voiced concern that the terror tunnels might be destroyed. Unbelievable.
#Gaza: Israel’s flooding of tunnels with saltwater could have severe adverse human rights impacts, some long term. Goods indispensable to civilian survival could also be at risk, as well as widespread, long-term & severe environmental damage. Civilians must be protected.

June 2021: Hamas made UNRWA fire their Gaza rep for saying on TV that IDF strikes were precise. Then Deputy Chief @LeniStenseth met Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar and “affirmed her solidarity.” She called her rep’s remarks “indefensible.” Hamas controls UNRWA.

UNRWA is not irreplaceable. There are other alternatives. But sadly, @AntonioGuterres ordered @WFP, @UNICEF and other relief agencies not to begin undertaking UNRWA's work. We sounded the alarm on this in February. The UN has had plenty of time to replace UNRWA.
If implemented, the laws adopted today by the Knesset of Israel would likely prevent @UNRWA from continuing its essential work in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, with devastating consequences for Palestine refugees. I call on Israel to act consistently with its obligations.
