UK under pressure to restore Unrwa funding following Colonna report
Quick Glance: UNRWA Report Highlights Lack of Evidence for Israel's Employee Militancy Claims
  • An independent review commissioned by the United Nations found that Israel has not provided evidence to support its accusation that a 'significant' number of employees of the U.N. relief agency for Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip are members of terrorist organizations.

  • The review, led by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna, revealed that UNRWA 'plays an indispensable and irreplaceable role in the region,' despite issues such as employees expressing political views and offices being used for 'political or military purposes'.

  • The review listed recommendations to enhance UNRWA operations, including improved training, more rigorous employee screening, and a thorough review of all textbooks and supplements.

  • Concerns were raised regarding the screening of UNRWA employees and the content of textbooks, while Israel has yet to provide evidence to support the claim that a significant number of UNRWA employees are members of terrorist organizations.

Quick Glance: Plans for New Fighter Jets Delayed Despite Labor's Defense Budget Increase
  • The Albanese government is injecting an additional $50bn into defense over the next decade to extend military reach beyond Australia's shores.

  • While overall spending is increasing, approximately $73bn over 10 years is being freed up by cutting, delaying, or altering the scope of some defense projects.

  • The acquisition of new F-35 fighter jets is postponed by $3bn to keep existing Super Hornets operational longer and invest in long-range missiles.

  • Despite $10bn in savings over 10 years from scaling back new infantry fighting vehicle purchases, the government highlights a net increase of $5.7bn in the immediate four-year budget cycle for defense.
