Saudi Arabia on Saturday condemned attempts by Israeli authorities to undermine the efforts of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), by labeling it a terrorist organization.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that the Israeli move aims to lift the immunity of UNRWA employees “who carry out their duty to alleviate the severity of the humanitarian catastrophe facing the Palestinian people.”
The Kingdom stressed that Israel, as an occupying power, must abide by international law and international humanitarian law and stop obstructing the work of international organizations.
