Israel formally notifies UN decision to sever ties with UNRWA

ai generated text

Israeli government has officially notified the United Nations of its decision to cut ties with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) as per a 1967 deal, citing concerns over the agency's alleged involvement in attacks against Israel, specifically the October 2023 attack by Hamas. This move was approved by the Israeli parliament in two separate bills, one of which bans the UN agency from operating on Israeli territory, including occupied east Jerusalem. The decision is expected to have severe consequences for millions of Palestinians who rely on UNRWA for aid and support, with the UN Security Council warning of the potential impact.

    1. Even now, the vast majority of humanitarian aid to Gaza is delivered through other organisations, and only 13 per cent of it is delivered through UNRWA.
    2. The State of Israel is committed to international law and will continue to facilitate the entrance of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip in a manner that does not harm the security of the citizens of Israel.
