UNRWA Commissioner-General on West Bank: New policies heighten instability and threaten the future of Palestinians

From Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)

New Israeli measures pave the way for accelerated expansion of settlements in the West Bank, further undermining the future of Palestinians.

It is a recipe for increased control, hopelessness and violence.

These measures also mark a new blow against international law, setting dangerous precedents with global impacts.
