Israeli ambassador to United NationsDanny Danon officially informed UN Secretary General Antonia Guterres about the request of Israel that the United Nations Agency to assist Palestinian refugees in the Middle East (UNRWA) interrupted its operations in Jerusalem and evacuates its premises by January 30, 2025.
The Directive followed the recent law that passed the Principality of Israel, which terminated Israeli agreements with UNRWA and cited concerns for national security.
In a letter addressed to Guterres, Danon presented a decision-making, emphasizing “acute risks of national security, which represents a widespread infiltration of Hamas and other terrorist organizations in UNRWA.” He also accused the agency of not dealing with the long -standing concern of Israel and that she had irreparably threatened her “fundamental obligation of impartiality and neutrality.”

President Donald TrumpHe was also a loud critic of UNRWA, withholding funding For this during his first term of the President. The United States was previously the largest donor of the UNRWA, contributing to more than $ 350 million a year. In March, Congress agreed to reduce the financing of a controversial agency to one year.
The spokesman for the UN Secretary-General told Fox News Digital: “The Secretary-General was clear in the need to maintain UNRWA support, which is the backbone of UN operations on occupied Palestinian territory.”
Danon’s letter states that “months of well -meaning engagement” with the United Nations did not give results, accusing UNRWA of abusing her immunity to bypass local laws and regulations. He emphasized the legal position of Israel, claiming that “no state is obliged to help and cooperate with the entity that undermines his national security.”

Anne Bayefsky, Director of the Touro Institute of Human Rights and Holocaust and President Human Rights Voices, told Fox News Digital that the move of Israel was still waiting for a long time. “UNRWA is a muse cow for united nations, and also for Palestinian so-called refugees that-for the difference from refugees everywhere in the world-inherit their refugee status as long as the Jews are still there. UNRWA schools taught generations of Palestinians to hate neighboring Jews and to spend their lives seeking the destruction of Israel instead of living in peace. “

The law adopted by the Prince of Israel includes two complementary laws that interrupt all the links between Israel and UNRWA, including the abolition of diplomatic visas and services provided by the Agency. The proposals of the law received great support from both coalition and opposition members of Knesset.
Critics of legislation, including Biden’s administrationThey warned that this could create a humanitarian crisis for millions of Palestinians who rely on UNRWA for education, health care and basic services.
During the UN journalists on Friday, a spokesman answered questions about the situation, saying: “We are in contact, but we continued to emphasize the irreplaceability of UNRWA.” When asked about plans for unforeseen situations in the event that Israel’s legislation is being implemented, a spokesman said: “We will see what the future brings. Obviously, we do our best and UNRWA will do anything that can continue to help people under our mandate as we can . “

Before the Israeli letter was published, UNRWA spokeswoman had previously told Fox News Digital that they had no plan for current surgery after the ban began.
A spokesman claimed that “UNRWA has the most powerful systems compared to other United Nations agencies when it comes to respecting the principles of neutrality with regard to our programs we do and our staff.”

In August, UNRWA’s Chief Commissioner, Philippe Lazzarini, confirmed the probable involvement of UNRWA employees at the Massacre 7th. He later confirmed that at least nine UNRWA employees had been released after an internal investigation.
Danon urged the united nations to “stand on the point of unprecedented infiltration and abuse of the UN organs by terrorist organizations” to renew the UN credibility.
