Germany to resume cooperation with Palestinian UNRWA agency
The German government plans to resume cooperation with the UN agency for Palestinians in Gaza, as announced by the foreign and development ministries in a joint statement.
Former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna conducted a review of UNRWA after Israel alleged staff involvement in attacks. Her findings concluded Israel lacked evidence to support the accusations.
The German ministries emphasized the need for UNRWA to address recommendations to enhance transparency and oversight, aligning with other nations already supporting the agency's reforms.
Germany will refinance UNRWA operations in Gaza on the basis of an independent investigative team led by former French Foreign Minister Christine Colonna's report Monday that Israel has not provided evidence to support its allegations that UNRWA is employing members of terrorist groups.
