Israeli official says UNRWA has ‘absolutely zero say’ in how it responds

David Saranga, the director of the digital diplomacy bureau at Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has scolded the UN agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) for expressing concern over looming Israeli ground operations in Rafah in southern Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

“After Hamas terrorists break into our homes and slaughter our children, you have absolutely ZERO say in how we respond. After years of aiding and abetting Hamas terrorists, you have absolutely ZERO say in how we respond,” he wrote on X.

International actors have warned that a humanitarian catastrophe will unfold in Rafah if Israel launches expanded military operations in the city, where 1.4 million Palestinians are sheltering.
