Parliament members will meet with representatives of the United Nations relief and works agency for Palestine refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to discuss the recent allegations made by the Israeli government that a number of UNRWA staff members were involved in the 7 October 2023 attacks.
In addition to contributions from committee MEPs, the debate will feature input from:
• Marta Lorenzo, UNRWA Representative for Europe,
• Gert Jan Koopman, Director General, the European Commission Directorate-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations
• Hans Das, Deputy Director General, the European Commission Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations
The debate is organised by the development and the foreign affairs committees.
Following the allegations by the Israeli government that up to 12 UNRWA staff members participated in the 7 October Hamas terrorist attacks, several UNRWA donors suspended their financial support for the agency – including France, Italy, The Netherlands, and Germany. Others, including the European Commission, have maintained their financial support, and UNRWA has since launched an investigation into the allegations. The suspension of funding comes amid a rapidly worsening humanitarian situation and risks affecting the provision of life-saving assistance to civilians in Gaza.
