UN warns Israel must fulfill obligations if it cuts ties with agency aiding Gaza
Summary: The United Nations warned that if Israel enacts new laws cutting ties with the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, it must fulfill its obligations under international law to meet the needs of Palestinians.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized that there is no alternative to the agency, known as UNRWA, which has been crucial for humanitarian aid in Gaza. Israel's recent legislation could hinder UNRWA's operations, raising concerns among various nations, including the U.S.
U.N. officials stated that without UNRWA, essential services like food, healthcare, and education for many in Gaza would cease. The U.S. has expressed deep concern over the Israeli legislation, warning it could negatively impact millions of Palestinians.
