He signed an executive order on Thursday, saying violence had reached “intolerable levels”.

The sanctions will block the individuals from accessing all US property and other assets.

Violence in the West Bank has spiked since Hamas’s 7 October attack on Israel.

    We can agree that the Palestininian’s need food absolutely.

    But blocking an organization.after that organization was involved in.a terror attack seems a bit obvious doesn’t it?

    But let me guess, it’s also Israel’s fault that UNRWA allowed themselves to be infiltrated, isn’t it?

      We cut off UNRWA at the mere accusation they had some employees that were involved, not leadership or the organization at large.

      But we continue to support Israel through what amounts to hundreds of credible accusations and statements by their leadership showing this is on purpose.

      Make that make sense.

        Showing what is on purpose?

        To clarify, I don’t believe that going to war in response to terrorism is the right answer, but to suggest the side that initiated the war is being genocided because they are losing is really ridiculous.

          Right, nothing is happening. There is no Genocide in Ba Sing Se. Just 27,000 dead Hamas. And the IDF is magically making sure food only gets to innocent civilians which is why dastardly Hamas babies are all over the internet being hungry.

          Again, sincerely, please stop. You’re embarrassing yourself.
