PLO: UNRWA classification is Israeli disdain for international community

Ramallah - Ma'an - The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) considered, on Monday, Israel's classification of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) as a "terrorist organization" as "disdain" for the international community and its UN organizations, calling for a response by supporting the organization "politically and financially." This came in a post by the organization's Secretary-General, Hussein al-Sheikh, on the 'X' platform, in response to the Knesset's approval, in the first reading, of a draft resolution to classify the international institution as a 'terrorist organization.' Al-Sheikh said: "The Israeli Knesset's decision to classify UNRWA as a terrorist organization is an Israeli disregard for the international community and its international organizations." He stressed that "the Israeli occupation is the most heinous form of terrorism practiced daily against the Palestinian people." The Sheikh stressed that "the Knesset's decision regarding an internationa l humanitarian organization must be met with an international position that supports this organization politically, financially and morally, so that it can continue its humanitarian and moral role towards a people who are victims of the Israeli occupation."
