Israel Calls for Comprehensive Change at UN Palestinian Refugee Aid Agency


(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Israel views with great concern the recently published findings of the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) investigation into UNRWA, the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson said Wednesday. These findings strengthen Israel's claims that deep and comprehensive change in the operational model of the agency is required. The recent developments prove that the automatic renewal of UNRWA's mandate for three more years is absolutely absurd, immoral, and unreasonable. Minister of Foreign Affairs Israel Katz stated: "UNRWA's conduct illustrates that the agency is part of the problem, and not part of the solution. The agency perpetuates the refugee issue in a political manner, and in doing so distances any possibility for a future resolution. The international community needs to find a new model that will provide humanitarian assistance to those who truly need it, and must remove from the agenda the futile idea of the return of the refugees."
