The Arab Parliament denounced the Israeli occupation’s attempts to classify UNRWA as a terrorist organization, criminalize its activities, and lift immunity from its employees.

It considered  this an extension of its criminal attempts to undermine  the Palestinian cause and eliminate the right of return for Palestinian refugee

In a press statement reported by Wafa Agency on Sunday , the Arab Parliament stressed the important and major role of UNRWA, which provides aid and relief to approximately 6.4 million Palestinian refugees, including two million refugees in the Gaza Strip who are exposed to unprecedented aggression, war of extermination and starvation.

The statement called on the international community, international organizations and human rights organizations to take their responsibilities towards stopping these repeated crimes and violations and  the necessity of providing international protection for the Palestinian people.

It also stressed the necessity of moving immediately and effectively and obliging the occupation to stop these ongoing  violations of the rules of international law and international humanitarian law.

The Arab Parliament called for the protection of  relief organizations and their employees, especially UNRWA, which plays a major humanitarian role in providing humanitarian aid and services to Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territories.
