PA on Steamroller to Join 16 More UN Agencies

‘WHO’ is next. Palestinian Authority (PA) officials say UNESCO is just the beginning and wants membership in 15 other UN agencies.

PA Minister of Health, Fathi Abu Moghli said Monday that the ministry is preparing to apply for full membership in the World Health Organization (WHO), according to the official PA news agency.

“With President Mahmoud Abbas’ directives, we discussed Palestine’s membership in WHO with the organization’s director of bureau,” he said.

UNESCO on Sunday accepted the PA as a full member, prompting the United States to immediately announce it is suspending its funding of the agency, as required by American law. The United States provided 22 percent of UNESCO’s annual budget, and Canada also is considering freezing funds.
