#UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini:

- UNRWA's work in the #Palestinian territories will be suspended within two days with the entry into force of legislation passed by the Knesset.
- The #Israeli government claims that the agency does not provide adequate support to the #Palestinians.
- We provide more than 17,000 medical consultations per day in the #Palestinian territories.
- The presence of UNRWA is a guarantee of stability in the #Palestinian territories.
- Attacking UNRWA will harm millions of #Palestinians.
- The agency provides half of the aid to the #Palestinians, contrary to the #Israeli government's accusations that it does not provide adequate support.
- Imposing #Israeli law will deteriorate the capacity of the United Nations at a time when humanitarian aid must be increased.
- Israel's accusation of UNRWA of terrorism is a precedent in the work of United Nations institutions.
- The right to protection and assistance for the #Palestinians does not stem from UNRWA's mandate, but rather exists independently of the agency.
- If UNRWA stops protecting and assisting #Palestinian refugees, their rights will not remain.
- The right of return for #Palestinians must be guaranteed and efforts must be made to achieve a successful political process based on the two-state solution.
- We demand decisive intervention to support peace and stability in the #Palestinian territories and confront the Knesset legislation.
- A political process must be emphasized that defines the role of the agency in providing its services.
