From Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)
Palestine Refugees remain refugees because of the absence of a political solution.
They are no exception.
Other refugees across the world have also been waiting decades for a lasting political solution to their plight.
Dismantling UNRWA will not address the refugee status of Palestinians.
A political solution will.
Investing in peace is the answer to end what was meant to be a temporary situation.
