Jordan says Israel’s UNRWA ban a continuation of efforts to destroy agency
Jordan says the Knesset’s decision to ban the UN agency for Palestinian refugees is a violation of international law and part of its bid to dismantle the organization.
In a statement, the kingdom’s foreign ministry says yesterday’s vote was “part of the systematic targeting” of UNRWA and a “continuation of Israel’s frantic efforts to assassinate the UN agency politically, in addition to its aggressive war on the Palestinian people.”
Israel accuses UNRWA of helping perpetuate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through its refugee policies and education, and says some employees have been involved in terror.
