The purpose of this essay is to use theories such as realism and political globalization to find out how arguments were made in an interpellation debate between the government’s minister of aid Johan Forssell and the opposition, over the government’s decision to pause humanitarian aid and development aid to UNRWA. The questions to be answered in the essay are what arguments were made for pausing the aid, what arguments were made against pausing the aid, and how should each side’s arguments be explained and understood theoretically. The method that will be used is an argumentation analysis with a theory consuming design. The conclusion and the result of the essay is that the minister of aid, Johan Forssell, argues for a pause of the aid and states that it is important that Swedish aid money goes to the right actors and not to actors who are linked with terrorism. Opposition members Ola Möller and Denis Begic argue against a pause in aid, stating that Palestinians in Gaza need the aid to survive and that it is more important that aid organizations on the ground get their funding rather than if the money goes to the wrong actors.
