Lack of proof for Israel’s claims against UN agency vindicates Ireland’s stance, says Martin

Tánaiste speaking in Cairo after independent panel finds Israel has yet to provide evidence to support its allegations against UN relief agency for PalestiniansEmployees of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, known as Unrwa, distribute aid in Khan Younis, Gaza, last year before several major donors suspended funding.

Several countries suspended financing of the Unrwa after Israel accused a dozen employees of involvement in Hamas’s October 7th attack which saw 1,200 people killed and 253 abducted. Ireland did not suspend funding to the organisation.Scottie Scheffler’s bagman may need help carrying his wallet The Fianna Fáil leader added that following the claims, Unrwa had taken action that “most organisations wouldn’t take”.

“There’s a political element to this as well, because Unrwa in many ways, reflects the principle of the right of return for Palestinians in the event of a final solution in terms of a two-state solution. He will also meet humanitarian partners at the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza, and visit Unrwa programmes supporting Palestinian refugees in Jordan.

Mr Shoukry described Ireland’s stance of the conflict as a very noble and courageous. He said verbal calls and requests for a two-state solution were not enough and actions were required.
