The future appears bleak for the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) as its support dwindles among key European countries that have traditionally been its allies.

In a significant move, Germany, Italy, Czechia, and Hungary, along with Bulgaria and Latvia, decided last Friday not to back the renewal of UNRWA’s charter. Additionally, Austria, Romania, and Lithuania took a similar stance on a different resolution.

UNRWA, the United Nations agency responsible for aiding Palestinian refugees, has long been criticized for its alleged cooperation with Hamas in Gaza.

Recent revelations have brought these concerns into sharper focus, as it was discovered that UNRWA employed members of Hamas who participated in the October 7, 2022, attack on Israel. The ongoing conflict has further highlighted the extensive connections between Hamas and UNRWA.

In response, Israel has prohibited UNRWA’s operations within its borders, and earlier this year, the United States halted its financial support to the agency, following a brief period of aid reinstatement under President Joe Biden.

Israel, citing non-payment of taxes, even took over a former UNRWA center in East Jerusalem, raising the national standard in place of the flag of the United Nations.

Without Israel’s cooperation, UNRWA’s capacity to work in Gaza is next to zero, but that didn’t stop more than 150 nations voting Friday to keep the agency rattling along.

Remember: Every other refugee population in the world is helped by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, which assists people displaced by war or persecution in resettlement and integration into their new homes; former refugees become residents and eventually citizens, losing their refugee status.

Only Palestinians, under UNRWA’s “care,” retain refugee status forever, even unto the third, fourth and fifth generations — and so perpetuating the eternal victimhood of the Palestinian people by shackling them to aid and legalizing their segregation inside neighboring nations long decades after their forebears arrived.

It’s not even clear why Palestinians living in Gaza, which is considered Palestine, remain refugees.

Aren’t they already home?

UNRWA is a sick parody of a relief organization.

Mission creep is its mission.

Let the major European nations waking up to the UNRWA’s stark absurdity lead the way to the end of a supposed force for mercy that’s become a tool for terror.
