Turkey slams Israel’s ban on UNRWA
Turkey has condemned a ban passed by the Israeli parliament on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) as a violation of international law.
“By targeting UNRWA, Israel aims to destroy the two-state solution and prevent the return of Palestine refugees to their homeland,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement issued on Tuesday.
UNRWA had since 1949 provided vital assistance to millions of Palestinian refugees, and its efforts were crucial to regional stability, the statement said.
“It is the legal and moral obligation of the international community to take a strong stance against attempts to ban UNRWA, which was established by a UN General Assembly resolution,” it said.
Turkey pledged as chair of the UNRWA financing group to continue providing political and financial support to the agency.
