The comment above regarding Trump pulling support from the UNRWA is accurate. I am very much not a Trump fan, and though I don't remember being all that upset about his reduced support of the UN, I think it's important to lean in to instances where you're wrong or where a politician you don't like does something that turns out to be good.

The Brookings institute has a rather breathless condemnation of his actions. In retrospect, the way they put the article together makes this revelation even more damning for them.
Anyway, this is going to be a significant blow to the idea of achieving any kind of peace. It's also going to be a significant blow to the welfare of the Palestinians. Nothing good will come of all this.
