💨 Abstract

UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini denies knowing that an employee was a Hamas commander in Lebanon and calls for states to counter Israeli attacks on the agency. Israeli parliament is considering declaring UNRWA a "terrorist body," which Lazzarini calls unconscionable. The agency faces a $80 million funding shortfall and has been targeted in attacks during the Gaza war, killing 223 staff and damaging facilities.
