The Heat: Middle East Conflict

Israel has notified the UN  that it is cutting off ties with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees also known as UNRWA. The organization has been a critical source of humanitarian aid for Palestinians over the last several decades. The move comes as the World Food Programme warns that the crisis in Gaza could soon escalate into famine. #heat #israel #gaza #unrwa Joining the discussion: Yossi Mekelberg is Senior Consulting Fellow for the MENA Programme at Chatham House in London.  Abdel Bari Atwan is Editor-in-Chief at Rai al-Youm.   Nabeel Khoury is Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Arab Center in Washington DC.
