Noga Arbell, a former Israeli foreign ministry official, issued the call to destroy the UN agency providing relief to Palestinian refugees, Al Jazeera reports.

“It will not be possible to win the war if we do not destroy UNRWA. And this destruction must begin immediately,” she is seen saying in footage shared by Israeli media.

In a post on X, Arbel claims shuttering the aid organisation is warranted because it supports “terror”.
