In their podcast discussion, Nora Baros Fredman and Lex Takkenberg address recent developments regarding the UN Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), including the International Court of Justice's ruling on Israel's actions in Gaza and dubious allegations against UNRWA staff. Takkenberg emphasizes UNRWA's struggles, including funding shortages and ongoing politically-motivated investigations, amidst bipartisan US attempts to defund the agency, influenced by coordinated imperialist media operations. Takkenberg reflects on Israel's historical crimes and stresses UNRWA's critical humanitarian role, warning of dire consequences if underfunded. They underscore the urgent need for aid in Gaza, and express hope for a ceasefire and a new approach to tackle the conflict's root causes, amid international concerns about Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.
