No: 144, 23 July 2024, Regarding the Israeli Parliament's Efforts to Designate the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East as a Terrorist Organisation

Republic Of Türkiye Ministry Of Foreign Affairs 23.07.2024

The Israeli Parliament's efforts to designate the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) as a terrorist organisation is a new phase in Israel's attacks to destroy the Palestinian people and the Palestinian identity.

Established by the UN General Assembly in 1949, UNRWA provides vital services to millions of Palestine refugees and symbolises the right of Palestinians to return to their own land. By discrediting UNRWA, Israel seeks to deprive Palestine refugees of their most basic rights.

It is unacceptable that Israel, which has targeted civilians sheltering in UNRWA schools in Gaza and killed nearly 200 UN staff in the last nine months, is trying to label UNRWA as a terrorist organisation.

Türkiye will continue to strongly support UNRWA. We call on the international community to raise its voice against the attacks on UNRWA and to support the Agency.
