Last night, the US State Department announced that support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) will be doubled this year, to $223 million.

According to the Hebrew website Ynet, this visit amounts to an increase of $16 million over last year's amount, making Washington the largest donor to UNRWA, after the administration of former US President Donald Trump had stopped funding the UN organization.

Since the era of current US President Joe Biden, his administration has transferred nearly a billion dollars.

The Hebrew website tried to raise the issue that this support comes in light of what it claimed was incitement in UNRWA textbooks.

He referred to previous US statements, the latest of which was Assistant Secretary of State for Middle East Affairs Barbara Leaf, who said before the Foreign Affairs Committee of the US House of Representatives last week, that the State Department is aware of reports about incitement to violence against Israel in UNRWA textbooks, and that it is following up on that with the competent authorities.
