Attacks on UNRWA Aim to Remove Palestinian Refugee Status | UN Security Council Briefing

Briefing by Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question.
The head of the UN agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA) Philippe Lazzarini said, “Let's be clear, the attacks against UNRWA are not about neutrality. The reason behind it is to strip the Palestinian refugees from their refugee status.”
Briefing the Security Council today (17 Apr) on Gaza, Lazzarini said, “Across the border, food and clean water wait. But UNRWA is denied permission to deliver this aid and save lives. This outrage is occurring despite consecutive orders by the International Court of Justice to increase the flow of aid into Gaza - which can be done if there is sufficient political will. You have the power to make the difference.”
He also said, “The Agency is under enormous strain. It is facing a campaign to push it out of the occupied Palestinian territory. In Gaza, the government of Israel seeks to end UNRWA’s activities. The Agency’s requests to deliver aid to the north are repeatedly denied. Our staff are barred from coordination meetings between Israel and humanitarian actors. Worse, UNRWA premises and staff have been targeted since the beginning of the war.”
He continued, “We demand an independent investigation and accountability for the blatant disregard for the protected status of humanitarian workers, operations, and facilities under international law. To do otherwise would set a dangerous precedent and compromise humanitarian work around the world.”
He stressed, “The Agency exists because a political solution does not. It exists in lieu of a State that can deliver critical public services. The international community has long attempted to contain, rather than resolve, the Israel-Palestine conflict. Lip-service is paid to the two-state solution each time an escalation occurs, costing lives and hope.”
He stated, “UNRWA has long been a custodian of the rights of Palestine Refugees. It can only relinquish its central role of providing critical services and protecting human rights when a political solution is realized. Until then, the political support of Member States must be matched by funding.”

The United Nations has continued to be a TOTAL FAILURE in its MAJOR ROLE of mediating in resolving conflicts between nations through diplomacy and negotiated settlement to avoid another kinetic war since the Korean War. In view of its abject failure to live up to its Charter Objectives for decades, and due to the fact that this organization has set policy objectives that are antithetical to freedom, sovereignty, independence, and way of life of the citizens of the USA, and whose leadership has grown anti-American and anti-lsrael in the last four decades, there is no point or justification for the USA to maintain its membership in it and its corrupt agencies the WHO and UNHCR. The US Congress should then pass a resolution to withdraw its membership from this anti-American and anti-Israel inutile United Nations and its corrupt agencies the WHO and the UNHCR and accordingly demand the dismantling of its Headquarters in New York.

[@KlausJLinke]

The UN is doing fine. Unfortunately, it can be blocked and made ineffective by the USA and other permanent members of the SC. And unfortunately, there is a lot of anti-UN propaganda in the US from pro-Israel lobby groups, which think the whole world is against them, because Israel keeps breaking international law, and keeps getting exposed for it by the UN.

Mr lazzorini, please ask the unrwa staff who are holding israeli hostages to give them back.

[@helo6172]

Which UNRWA staff is holding israeli hostages? Do you have any evidence for your claim?

[@Justadudeyeknow]

There is 0 evidence of any UNRWA staff holding israeli hostages, in fact, I am more worried about the military operations that the IDF are doing against the hostages. So far there is a 50/50 chance of being saved by the IDF. 3 were saved, 3 were shot while carrying white flags and speaking hebrew

[@UltraTrev]

“The disciples came to Jesus and asked, ‘Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’ He called a child, set him in front of them, and said, ‘I tell you this: unless you turn round and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven. Let a man humble himself till he is like this child, and he will be the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me. But if a man is a cause of stumbling to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him to have a millstone hung round his neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea. Alas for the world that such causes of stumbling arise! Come they must, but woe betide the man through whom they come!’” - (at Matthew 18: 1-7) -

"...The absolute egalitarianism practiced in the past claimed that everyone is born equal, and that it is a person’s post-natal life that changes him or her. I find this statement too absolute. When anything is made absolute, it becomes incorrect. Why are some people born male and others female? Why don’t they look alike? People are not born the same, as some are born ill or disfigured. From high levels, we can see that one’s entire life lies there in another dimension. How can they be the same? People all wish to be equal, but if something is not a part of someone’s life, how can they be equal? People are not the same." (Lecture Seven, "Zhuan Falun", from Falun Dafa teachings)
