🇵🇸 The real reason Israel is banning UNRWA, and what it means for millions of Palestinian refugees | Mondoweiss
The real goal behind banning UNRWA is not only weakening or decimating the refugee camps for what they represent as a living physical remembrance of the #Nakba — there is a larger goal: to end the international presence in Palestine,” Shomali told Mondoweiss.
“When #UNRWA was established in 1949, another UN body was also established; the UN Conciliation Commission for Palestine (#UNCCP),” Shomali added. “Its goal was to ensure the implementation of #UN #Resolution181, ruling that Palestinian refugees have the right to return and compensation. That is the legal part of the protection of refugees under International Law, which includes the #RighttoReturn, reparations, property retribution, and the guarantee of non-repetition.
