“No alternative to UNRWA” – EU

The European Commission has condemned last night’s vote in the Israeli parliament to pass laws banning the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA from operating within Israel and occupied East Jerusalem.

Yesterday the EU’s Foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell said in statements on X, the new Israeli laws would “render UNRWA’s vital operations in Gaza impossible”. And he stated they would “seriously hamper its provision of services in the West Bank”. This morning European Commission spokesperson Nabila Massrali, said last night’s vote is “extremely worrying”.

Out words: to UNRWA
