Bungling Biden Helps Facilitate the Hamas Attack on Israel
Lost in the discussion and teeth gnashing over the Hamas attack is the strange development that occurred immediately prior to the start of the action. On October 3rd, Biden signed off on a $75 million payment to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Ostensibly, the purpose of the aid is to provide food and other essential items for the residents of Gaza. However, the organization has a questionable history that includes dealings with affiliates of Hamas and other radical anti-Israel factions operating in Palestinian territories. In 2021, UNRWA’s Deputy Commissioner, Lenny Steinseth, thanked Hamas leader Yahya Al-Sinwar for his “positivity and desire to continue cooperation in facilitating the Agency’s work in the Gaza Strip.”
