Iran Press/ America"It’s a unilateral blow or a sign of a unilateral blow against multilateralism. Now, the multilateral system is not perfect but it’s the best thing we have as a global community. The question then is if this is allowed to continue what influence will this have on other situations in other places in the world?”, Jonathan Fowler said.
Fowler further warned of the immediate dire consequences the ban would have on the humanitarian situation in Gaza where people are already lacking basic commodities.
“We are the backbone of the international humanitarian aid operation in the Gaza Strip. If you remove the backbone from an aid operation then we find ourselves completely unable as an international community to continue to function in the Gaza Strip and that doesn’t bear thinking about the consequences of that,” he said.
On Monday, Israel’s parliament, Knesset, banned UNRWA from operating in Israel and made it illegal for Israeli officials to cooperate with the organization in any way. The ban was internationally criticized, and numerous global players voiced concerns over the consequences it would entail.
