UN warns Israel must fulfill obligations if it cuts ties with refugee agency

clickondetroit.com — October 29, 2024, 11:01 PM UTC

Summary: The United Nations warned that if Israel enacts new laws severing ties with the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, it must fulfill its obligations under international law to meet the needs of Palestinians.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized that the agency, known as UNRWA, is essential for humanitarian aid in Gaza. Israel's recent legislation could disrupt this support, which is critical during the ongoing conflict.

The U.S. and other nations have expressed concern over the Israeli laws, stating they could harm millions of Palestinians reliant on UNRWA services. The U.N. is reviewing allegations against UNRWA staff regarding ties to militant groups.
