The Governments of Ireland, Norway, Slovenia and Spain condemn the approval by the Knesset [the Israeli parliament] of legislation to prevent UN Relief Agency (UNRWA) from operating in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

UNRWA has a mandate from the United Nations General Assembly. The work of the Agency is essential and irreplaceable for millions of Palestinian refugees in the region, and particularly in the current context in Gaza. The legislation approved by the Knesset sets a very serious precedent for the work of the United Nations and for all organizations of the multilateral system.

    You’d think so, eh. Here, a headline: “Macron calls to halt arms deliveries to Israel in Gaza war” dated 6 October 2024. Then there is Italy which is still honoring pre-oct-7 deals and god knows how much traffic goes unnoticed. But it’s not just enabling them, even ignoring the horrors by watching the other way or even sympathizing with Israel, is helping them. As per US is really the big one - yes, and they have a weapons supply for decades to come. Germany is not that small as well.
