The Palestinian presidency has warned on the dangers of Israeli legislation against UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees), noting that the legislation violates international law and is a provocation to the international community, the Wafa news agency reports.

“The presidency stressed that UNRWA is a red line, that the refugee issue is the core of the Palestinian issue, and that there is no solution without a just solution to the refugee issue in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions and international law, noting that UNRWA was established according to a UN resolution on December 18, 1949,” Wafa said.
