Under the law, which came into force on Thursday, the Israeli authorities are not allowed to cooperate with Unrwa.
According to the UN, UNRWA will continue to operate in the Palestinian refugees in the Palestinian regions, despite the fact that the law prohibiting the organization came into force on Thursday in Israel.
According to the law, the Israeli authorities are not allowed to cooperate with Unrwa. According to the Supreme Court of Israel, Unrwa can still operate on the Lansiranta occupied by Israel in areas under the Palestinian administration. Instead, the ban on operations is valid in East Jerusalem occupied by Israel.
However, according to the UN, UNRWA will continue to operate in East Jerusalem.
-UNRWA clinics across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, are open. At the same time, humanitarian operations in Gaza continue, including the work of Unrwa, the UN Secretary -General spokesman Stephane Dujarric says.
However, Dujarric explains that there are no staff present at the headquarters of the organization in East Jerusalem. The headquarters mainly handles administrative tasks.
According to Dujarric, the organization’s Palestinian employees will continue their duties in different locations, while foreign workers have had to leave.
– We have taken precautions. We have moved all the equipment, documents, computers and vehicles.
Unrwa has long been the most important organization of Gazan-Aid.
“Unrwa will continue to do its job until it is no longer able to do it,” Dujarric says.
Israel has made different accusations against Unrwa for a long time. It has said, among other things, that a large number of Unrwa employees would have participated in the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023.
In the UN investigation, “neutrality problems” have been found in the UNRWA. However, according to the investigation, Israel has not provided sufficient evidence to support the claim about the terrorist intermediate connections of UNRWA personnel.
