[Philippe Lazzarini @UNLazzarini]

The vote by the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) against @UNRWA this evening is unprecedented and sets a dangerous precedent. It opposes the UN Charter and violates the State of Israel’s obligations under international law. 

This is the latest in the ongoing campaign to discredit UNRWA and delegitimize its role towards providing human-development assistance and services to #Palestine Refugees.

These bills will only deepen the suffering of Palestinians, especially in #Gaza where people have been going through more than a year of sheer hell.

It ⁠will deprive over 650,000 girls & boys there from education, putting at risk an entire generation of children.

These bills increase the suffering of the Palestinians & are nothing less than collective punishment.

Putting an end to UNRWA & its services will not strip the Palestinians from their refugee status. That status is protected by another UN General Assembly resolution until a fair and lasting solution is found to the plight of the Palestinians.

Failing to push back these bills will weaken our common multilateral mechanism established after World War 2.

This should be a concern to all.

[Philippe Lazzarini @UNLazzarini]

On this #UNDay, the #UN has never been under fiercer attack.

As the region is delving deeper into a humanitarian tragedy that will take years to overcome, our multilateral system has become another casualty of this war.

The violations of International Humanitarian Law we are witnessing in the occupied Palestinian territory & across the region risk setting precedents for other conflict situations + weakening the international rules-based order globally.

We must push back against attempts to intimidate & undermine the United Nations including @UNRWA

This UN Day, we must protect the United Nations and reinforce it as a force for peace and stability
