Israel formally notifies UN of ending ties with UNRWA

ai generated text

The Israeli government has imposed a ban on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), which took effect on Thursday. The ban, which was announced by the Israeli foreign ministry, prohibits the agency from operating within Israeli territory. As a result, international staff members working for UNRWA were forced to leave their posts, and the organization's activities were reportedly severely restricted.

  1. UN Relief and Works Agency
    1. In Gaza, UNRWA continues to be the backbone of the international humanitarian response. We continue to have international personnel in Gaza, and we continue to bring in trucks of basic supplies.
  2. United Nations
    1. UNRWA's international staff at the East Jerusalem office had to evacuate and relocate to Amman, Jordan earlier in the day.
    2. Office equipment and vehicles have been moved out, and efforts are continuing to digitize its archives.
  3. Jonathan Fowler
    UN Relief and Works Agency
    1. The international order is far from perfect, but it's what we've got. If you start to unravel it, the risks go far beyond this region.

    1. But we are in the dark. We have not received any instructions from Israel how the ban will be enforced beyond being told to vacate.

    1. I think it's going to be a gradual process until other agencies will step in and will take their positions.

    Norwegian Foreign Ministry
    1. It is extremely dramatic for Palestine that Israeli laws come into force that in practice can prevent Unrwa from working.
