Palestine denounces Israeli law banning UNRWA operations
Palestine has condemned the Israeli parliament’s legislation banning the operations of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees in Israel.
“We reject and condemn this decision, emphasising that it violates international law and challenges United Nations resolutions that uphold international legitimacy,” Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesperson for the Palestinian presidency, said.
He stressed that the decision seeks to eliminate the refugee issue and their rights to return and compensation, emphasising that it is “not only against the refugees but also against the United Nations and the international community.
“Without continuous American political, financial, and military support for the occupation, Israel would not have dared to challenge the international community or adopt policies that have plunged the region into violence and instability,” he added.
The Israeli parliament, the Knesset, has earlier passed a law prohibiting the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) from operating in Israel.
