Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounces Israeli ban on UNRWA activities

| Wednesday 30 October 2024

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned the recent approval by the Israeli Knesset of a law banning the activities of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). The ministry confirmed this in a statement, calling this decision a "flagrant violation" of international law and relevant international resolutions.

The ministry argued that "this unprecedented measure is part of a systematic Israeli campaign aimed at undermining the credibility of the agency and hindering its efforts to provide essential services and humanitarian assistance to Palestinian refugees in the host countries and in the occupied territories".

He further expressed his fear that "the legislation will contribute to the ongoing Israeli efforts to persuade donor countries to withdraw their funding, which constitutes a significant threat to regional security and the stability of the host countries".
