Ramallah (UNA/WAFA) – The Palestinian presidency decided to move urgently and immediately with the countries hosting Palestinian refugees to discuss the possibility of going to the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly, including international organizations and the Human Rights Council, considering the UNRWA issue a political issue related to the right of return..
The presidency indicated that the decision regarding the existence of UNRWA is linked to resolving the Palestinian issue in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions, and that the decision to establish UNRWA is a decision issued by the United Nations General Assembly in 1949..
The presidency said: “We once again appreciate the positions of the group of countries that expressed their rejection, concern and fear of the repercussions of this dangerous and unacceptable Israeli approach, which defies international will and international law, and their call on the Israeli government to comply with its international obligations, preserve UNRWA’s privileges and immunities without prejudice, and fulfill its responsibilities.”
The presidency added: We call on these countries to take serious decisions to stop the Israeli tampering, which will lead to more tension and instability.
The presidency held the Israeli government fully responsible for the serious repercussions of this decision.
The presidency stressed that without a just solution to the Palestinian issue based on international legitimacy and the Arab Peace Initiative, all the dangerous and unacceptable Israeli aggressive practices will not bring security and stability, but will increase the region's turmoil and tension.
