UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has issued a warning regarding Israel's recent ban on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). The Israeli parliament passed two bills that effectively restrict UNRWA's operations within Israel and limit any contact between Israeli authorities and the agency.
Guterres expressed concern over the potential devastating consequences of these laws on Palestinian refugees in the occupied territories, including East Jerusalem. He emphasized the vital role UNRWA plays in providing essential services to nearly 6 million Palestinian refugees across the Middle East, such as food, education, and medical assistance.
