Email from Zionist Organization of America   ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA NEWS RELEASE ZOA Praises Pres. Trump for Ending Funding to Hamas-Linked UNRWA; Withdrawing from Antisemitic UNHRC & Maximum Sanctions on Iran Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein released the following statement: ZOA praises and thanks President Trump for his pro-Israel, pro-America, philosemitic executive orders, signed on February 4 entitled: “Withdrawing the United States from and Ending Funding to Certain United Nations Organizations and Reviewing United States Support to All International Organizations,” and “Imposing Maximum Pressure on the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Denying Iran All Paths to a Nuclear Weapon, and Countering Iran’s Malign Influence.” These orders: defund the terror-permeated United Nations Relief & Works Agency (UNRWA); withdraw the U.S. from the extreme, biased so-called United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), which spends most of its time condemning the peace-loving Jewish State of Israel; order reviews of the antisemitic, anti-Israel United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which despicably works to erase Jewish history at the Jewish people’s holiest sites including the Temple Mount, the Western Wall, the Mount of Olives 3,000 year-old Jewish cemetery (which UNESCO libeled as “fake Jewish graves”) and Hebron; order reviews of other UN and international agencies funded by the U.S.; and reinstate the maximum sanctions on Iran needed to curb Iran’s ability to fund its terror proxies and nuclear arms program. President Trump also took similar important steps during his first term of office, but former President Biden undid President Trump’s pro-Israel, pro-America actions. ZOA condemned Biden’s resumption of sending hundreds of millions of U.S. tax dollars to terror-front UNRWA; repeatedly demanded that Biden cease funding UNRWA; and condemned Biden’s rejoining the UNHRC; and condemned Biden’s waivers of sanctions on Iran. ZOA thanks President Trump for promptly reinstating his prior wise decisions. The wisdom of President Trump’s decision to defund UNRWA should be crystal clear to all decent people in light of UNRWA staff members’ direct participation in the October 7 atrocities: UNRWA employees murdered and kidnapped Jews, breached the border fence, coordinated attack logistics, and procured weapons. UNRWA’s other assistance to Hamas included hiding a major Hamas data and operations center in UNRWA’s headquarters; and hiding Hamas’ weapons, communications, tunnels and hostages. For instance, Hamas hid recently-released hostage Emily Damari in UNRWA facilities, and denied Emily medical treatment after shooting Emily twice. Further, at least 10% of UNRWA employees are Hamas or PIJ terrorists. Yet UNRWA Commissioner General Phillipe Lazzarini admitted that UNRWA employees are not even required to declare that they are not members of an armed group; and failed to declare that he would fire any UNRWA employee found to be a member of Hamas.   CONTINUE READING   Share This Email Share This Email Share This Email   DONATE     Copyright © Zionist Organization of America 2025, All rights reserved.
