Israel Pushes for New Relief Paradigm in Gaza

Israel has encouraged U.N. agencies and aid groups to replace the U.N. Palestinian relief agency in Gaza. This follows Israel's ban on the agency in Israeli territories. Ambassador Daniel Meron states Israel is urging agencies and NGOs to take specialized roles in the region.

In a decisive move, Israel is actively urging U.N. agencies and aid groups to take over responsibilities from the U.N. Palestinian relief agency (UNRWA) in Gaza.

This development comes after Israel imposed a ban on the agency's operations within its territory earlier this year in January.

Ambassador Daniel Meron stated that Israel is looking to encourage agencies and NGOs to step in, each within their specialized fields, though details remain unspecified.
