Recently, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), an agency that aims to provide assistance to millions of Palestinian refugees, has suddenly once again become the focus of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. According to the German news agency dpap on January 29, Israel temporarily canceled a meeting with Filipe Lazzarini (head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) and called for his resignation. In this regard, Israeli *** Minister Katz posted an accusation on the X platform: "UNRWA employees participated in the October 7 big **. Lazzarini should draw conclusions and resign. Supporters of terrorism are not welcome here. ”
Seeing this scene, are you familiar with it? In October last year, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said in his speech that "there must be a reason for the Hamas" attack, and the Israeli foreign minister unilaterally announced the cancellation of the meeting between the two men, and Israel's ambassador to the United Nations Erdan also immediately clamored that "unless Guterres apologizes, Israel will demand his immediate resignation, and the UN building will have no reason to exist." If you don't agree with each other, you will threaten people to resign, Israel is really "domineering". I am afraid that since that time, Israel has considered the "United Nations building" to be no longer necessary. However, the "United Nations building" that Israel is unhappy with is in the United States, does Israel dare to bomb it? Can't. As a result, the news about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict often includes the bombing of UNRWA, the most recent of which was only a week ago. At least nine people were killed and 75 wounded when Israeli tanks fired two shells that hit the UNRWA building in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. At that time, the building had been clearly declared a United Nations building and the coordinates had been communicated to the Israeli authorities. 
However, what is infuriating is that the bombing of UNRWA failed to attract the attention of the United States and the West, and an accusation from Israel made the United States and the West "blow up." According to intelligence shared between Israel and the United States, 50 per cent of UNRWA's approximately 12,000 Gaza employees have at least one close relative linked to organizations such as Hamas, and 10 percent are themselves members of organizations such as Hamas. Israel has accused 12 UNRWA staff members of being involved in the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October last year. Under pressure, nine of the 12 people involved have been dismissed, even after a UN investigation; One person was confirmed dead, while the other two are still being identified. Even though the United Nations has dealt with it, after the United States announced on the 26th that it would suspend funding to UNRWA, many countries, including Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Finland, announced the suspension of funding one after another. 
It is worth mentioning that in the context of the unfavourable ruling of the United Nations Court of Justice in the case of Israel's "genocide" in the Gaza Strip only before this incident, it is difficult to say that the United States is not deliberately retaliating by rallying many countries to stop UNRWA funding. The direct victims of this political storm will be the innocent civilians of Gaza. The shortage of food and medical care has become an urgent problem. Now, the cut off funding will undoubtedly exacerbate this humanitarian crisis. It is understood that UNRWA is currently in a semi-suspended period of all operations, with no financial support, and is less than a month away from closing. Fortunately, in the face of the United States taking the lead, some countries have begun to stand up and "sing the opposite". In his speech, Spanish Foreign Minister Albarez made it clear that Spain does not intend to stop funding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, given that it is "indispensable". It is clear that this crisis has become not only a test for the United Nations, but also a challenge to the common values of all humankind. In any case, those innocent civilians of Gaza do not deserve such "joint punishment".
