Trump nominee for UN ambassador supports removing UNRWA funding

Elise Stefanik said in her Senate confirmation hearing Tuesday for the position of US ambassador to the UN: "I support the complete removal of funding from UNRWA. Our tax dollars should not be used for interests that are contrary to ours, antisemitic or corrupt." According to her, "There are more Security Council resolutions that attack Israel than any other country. I intend to raise the moral voice to the world that will explain the importance of standing with Israel." Stefanik added: "UNIFIL has failed in its mission to protect peace. We have seen tunnels and thousands of Hezbollah rockets and tens of thousands of Israelis who have been forced to leave their homes."
