JERUSALEM _ Palestine News Network
The Hebrew newspaper "Yisrael", on Wednesday morning, saw a series of meetings conducted by the Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Houtubili with ambassadors and diplomats inside Israel to demand that their countries stop funding UNRWA.
According to the paper, Houtobili, deputy Foreign Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, met with 50 ambassadors and diplomats and told them that Israel´s policy was to work to close down UNRWA because it had become the problem and not the solution.
During her meetings, Houtobili drew attention to the change in the U.S. administration´s policy on UNRWA. Referring to the situation of refugees and dealing with them around the world. "For many years, we have seen how, instead of settling the original refugees, UNRWA has increased their number, directly transferring the refugee status from generation to generation," he said. There is no likeness in the world and this only establishes conflict. "
The ambassadors were offered an alternative model on behalf of the Israeli Government, designed to assist Palestinian refugees and their grandchildren, and asked them to convey the message to their governments.
"The Jordanian model, under which Jordan has fully resettled refugees, is also a true example of Syria and Lebanon," she said.
It stressed the need to separate East Jerusalem, which is controlled by Israel, from the areas of power, as well as to separate education programmes into two branches of the territory of the authority and one UNRWA. Calling for the need to unite them only to be of authority.
She touched on the situation in Gaza, which she described as complicated, saying, "There is no reason to keep millions of imaginary and imaginary refugees."
