Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs Condemns Israeli Ban on UNRWA
The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a statement condemning Israel's decision to ban UNRWA activities in the occupied Palestinian territories. The ministry emphasized that this move by Israel is a clear violation of international law and aims to eliminate the right of Palestinian refugees to return. UNRWA, established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1949 with strong support from UN member states, provides humanitarian aid and essential services to millions of Palestinians in the most challenging conditions. Turkey urges the international community to support UNRWA and take necessary steps for regional peace. Turkey reaffirms its commitment to supporting UNRWA and defending the rights of the Palestinian people.
