UNRWA rep says political actors, not humanitarian groups responsible for prolonging conflict
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDismissing criticism by Israel’s UN envoy Danny Danon, UNRWA Commissioner Pierre Krähenbühl asserts that political actors on the ground, not humanitarian groups, are the ones responsible for prolonging the conflict.
Krähenbühl is responding to Danon, who accused Palestinian refugee agency of protracting the conflict and asked him how much longer will the agency need to operate.
“I turn the question to you,” Krähenbühl says. “For how long?”
The UNRWA representative also rejects US criticism lobbed by Trump peace envoy Jason Greenblatt, who called its model flawed.
