The United States has expressed deep concern over recent developments in Israel, including legislation banning UNRWA from operating. State Department spokespersons have stated that the US will engage with the Israeli government to discuss the implementation of this ban and potential consequences under US law and policy.
The legislation has raised alarms as it could impact millions of Palestinians, particularly those in Gaza, who rely on UNRWA for essential services. The US emphasized that UNRWA plays a critical role that cannot easily be replaced by other entities.
