The United Nations said in a letter Tuesday that finding a replacement for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which Israel banned for its terror ties, was Yerushalayim’s responsibility.
“If UNRWA is no longer able to operate it would be the responsibility of the Israeli authorities to replace its services that it delivers to civilians, in education, in health, and all sorts of other areas,” U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters.
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres’ chef de cabinet, Courtenay Rattray, wrote to an Israeli foreign affairs official on Tuesday, saying, “I would note, as a general point, that it is not our responsibility to replace UNRWA, nor do we have the capacity to do so.”
