The debate over UNRWA's defining policy and future continues as Israel attempts to banish the agency from operating in its territory. The government's decision was driven by allegations that UNRWA employees have links to terrorist organizations. The controversy raises questions about who qualifies as a Palestinian refugee and whether this status should be inherited indefinitely, even by millionaires. Critics argue that UNRWA's unique framework perpetuates the crisis and maintains statelessness. The debate also extends to UNRWA's budget and staff allocation, with critics questioning its efficiency compared to other refugee agencies. Despite calls to abolish UNRWA, the organization continues to operate, as the situation remains unresolved.
