Growing international condemnation surrounds an Israeli parliamentary bill that seeks to brand UN aid agency, the key aid provider for Palestinians in Gaza, as a terrorist group.
Qatar and Saudi Arabia have condemned an Israeli parliamentary bill that seeks to label UNRWA, the main provider of aid for Palestinians in Gaza, a"terrorist group", joining a growing number of nations opposed to the proposal.
Those allegations led to a freeze in funding by many donors to the agency at a time when Gaza has been buckling under a humanitarian crisis triggered by the war. UNRWA says it took swift action against those accused and an independent review of the agency’s neutrality found that Israel did not previously raise concerns about the workers and did not provide evidence backing its claims.
In response to the bill, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said the attempt to brand UNRWA a terrorist organisation is “an extension of the systematic campaign aimed at dismantling the agency at a time when the need for its humanitarian services is dire due to the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.”
