Trump’s Immunity Claim, Biden Funding of UNRWA: Implications of One for the Other

I have a column up on the website urging that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency be formally designated as a terrorist organization under U.S. law in the wake of revelations about its complicity in Hamas’s October 7 atrocities. We also have an editorial urging an end to UNRWA, starting with the utterly irresponsible U.S. government funding of it — funding that I regard as criminal given the wealth of evidence, gathered over decades, of UNRWA’s support for anti-Israeli terrorism.

Considering all of this got me to thinking about the delay in the D.C. Circuit’s issuance of a ruling on Donald Trump’s claim of immunity from criminal prosecution for acts during his presidency that were arguably within the ambit of his executive authority.
