The Arab Republic of Egypt condemned the Israeli Knesset's approval of legislation banning the work of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and limiting its ability to provide support to Palestinian citizens in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Egypt considers this step part of a long series of Israeli violations of international law and international humanitarian law, and reflects an unacceptable disregard for the international community and the United Nations, renewing its absolute rejection of all Israeli practices aimed at displacing the Palestinian population from their lands, and liquidating the right of return and compensation for Palestinian refugees.
