The EU emphasised its strong support for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres's position regarding the draft bill that, if passed, could have disastrous consequences for the UN agency's ability to assist and protect Palestinian refugees in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza.
The EU urges the Israeli authorities to ensure that UNRWA is allowed to continue carrying out its crucial work in line with its mandate adopted by the UN General Assembly, the EU noted.
UNRWA provides essential services to millions of people in Gaza, the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and across the region, including Lebanon, Syria and Jordan and is a pillar of regional stability.
