Ballot box fires in Washington, Oregon destroy hundreds of ballots – UPI.com

The ballot box fire in Vancouver destroyed hundreds of ballots, according to Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey, who said anyone who dropped off a ballot in the drop box near Fisher’s Landing Transit Depot after 11 a.m. Saturday should contact the county elections division.

“We take the safety of our election workers seriously and will not tolerate threats or acts of violence that seek to undermine the democratic process,” said Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs.

“I strongly denounce any acts of terror that aim to disrupt lawful and fair elections in Washington state. Despite this incident, I have complete confidence in our county elections official’s ability to keep Washington’s elections safe and secure for all voters,” Hobbs added.

UNRWA’s Lazzarini: vote by Israeli Parliament against UNRWA is unprecedented and sets a dangerous precedent | PNN

UNRWA Commissioner-General, Philippe Lazzarini, said the vote by the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) against UNRWA this evening is unprecedented and sets a dangerous precedent. “It opposes the UN Charter and violates the State of Israel’s obligations under international law.”

“This is the latest in the ongoing campaign to discredit UNRWA and delegitimize its role towards providing human-development assistance and services to Palestine Refugees, said Lazzarini in a post on X.

“These bills will only deepen the suffering of Palestinians, especially in Gaza where people have been going through more than a year of sheer hell.”

He added: “It ⁠will deprive over 650,000 girls and boys there of education, putting at risk an entire generation of children.”

“These bills increase the suffering of the Palestinians and are nothing less than collective punishment,” said the UNRWA Commissioner-General.

Lazzarini stressed that putting an end to UNRWA and its services will not strip the Palestinians of their refugee status. “That status is protected by another UN General Assembly resolution until a fair and lasting solution is found to the plight of the Palestinians.”

“Failing to push back these bills will weaken our common multilateral mechanism established after World War 2,” he said.

“This should be a concern to all,” he concluded.
