I welcome the Swiss parliament vote this morning to maintain funding to UNRWA.
This is a show of solidarity by the Swiss people to civilians impacted by the war in Gaza and Palestine Refugees across the Middle East.
This will allow the agency to continue providing assistance & critical services.
Thank you, Switzerland, for your generosity & commitment to human rights & international law.
