The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has warned of continued US attempts to abolish the Agency´s work by amending the text of the renewal of its mandate by redefining the Palestinian refugee and beginning to talk about reducing the number of refugees and counting them to the first generation. In addition to giving financial assistance to the Agency according to numbers.
The spokesman for the agency "UNRWA" Sami Mashacha in statements to "Palestine Radio" that a fierce attack on the agency led by the United States aims to starve financially and weaken the texts to renew its mandates.
Regarding the Swiss foreign minister´s denial of any demand for his country to redefine the refugee or to cancel the work of UNRWA, Mashacha said that these statements are a failure of the game that Israel wanted to end the work of the agency.
Regarding the statement of Arab foreign ministers, which stressed the need to intensify contacts to renew the mandate of UNRWA´s work, Mashash said that this decision reflects the growing rally around the agency.
Mashacha stressed that the results of the investigation in relation to the internal conditions of the Agency is up to the Commission of Inquiry, stressing in the context that the Agency will adhere to the outcome of the investigation and the recommendations of the Commission, describing the use of the timing of this investigation for political purposes "suspicious".
