UN Secretary General Anthony Guterres said that if the laws passed by Israel’s Knesset are implemented today, it will probably prevent UNRWA from continuing its activities in the occupied Palestinian territories, which will have devastating consequences for the Palestinian refugees.
I ask Israel to act in accordance with its obligations based on the UN Charter and international laws; National laws cannot change these obligations.
I will bring this matter to the attention of the UN General Assembly and will keep it closely informed as the situation develops, and there is no alternative to UNRWA
