Dodds: Israel must step back from the brink and drop UNRWA ban

Britain has called on Israel to drop attempts to ban the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) from operating in Gaza. The Israeli Knesset recently approved two laws declaring UNRWA a terrorist organisation, which would effectively bar it from working in Gaza or the West Bank. Foreign Office minister Anneliese Dodds expressed concerns about the impact on the humanitarian situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and the work of the United Nations. Dodds stated that UNRWA is indispensable in providing aid for Palestinians and urged the Israeli government to step back from implementing the legislation.
