He pointed out that there are some points that are being discussed in Brussels regarding the implementation of the court’s decisions, in addition to discussing sending humanitarian aid to Gaza. 

Ambassador Berger stressed in a press conference today, on the sidelines of his tour in Alexandria, accompanied by a number of ambassadors of European countries, that the European Commission will continue to support UNRWA as the Palestinians need it, emphasizing the continuation of investigations into Israeli allegations of accusing a number of UNRWA employees of participating in the incidenta of October 7th.

Berger said that the wars and conditions in Gaza and Sudan affect joint cooperation programs with Egypt, but a number of commissioners will be in Egypt during the coming period, to lead these programs and push them forward.
