US Rejects Gaza Agency, Funds Israeli Siege
Al Jazeera reports US rejection of both Hamas and UNRWA’s roles in Gaza, as Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) ensures Israel maintains veto power over any international task force. Missing from the narrative? Rubio’s own financial incentives. According to OpenSecrets.org, Rubio received $16,700 from pro-Israel groups in the 2024 cycle, part of a career total exceeding $200,000. It’s almost as if
'bipartisan support for Israel' is less about shared values and more about shared donors. So, the US will fund the siege, then unilaterally decide who can deliver crumbs of aid, while the very agency (UNRWA) that’s been crucial for Palestinian refugees since 1949 gets defunded on flimsy, unproven allegations. How many more 'humanitarian crises' will it take before someone asks why a global
superpower is letting a blockade-enforcing power dictate who feeds the starving?
