Palestine Authority Bashes US For Cutting Aid To UN Programs

MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 01st September, 2018) The secretary general of the Palestine Liberation Organization has criticized the United States for ending aid to the UN Palestinian refugee agency.

"We reject and condemn the US decision in its entirety," Saeb Erekat said in a statement on Friday, adding it ran counter to international law and was a "gift to extremists and terrorists in the region."

The United States said Friday it had stopped all funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency after a careful review found it to be "irredeemably flawed." The UNRWA denied this and promised to look for new donors.
