EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has slammed Israel’s advance of laws labelling UNRWA as a ‘terrorist’ organization, amid a push to discredit the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.

“Outlawing @UNRWA – and labelling it as terrorist, which it is not – amounts to targeting regional stability and human dignity of all those benefiting from the UN agency work,” Borrell said on X.

“We join many partners in urging the Israeli Government to halt this nonsense.”
