Implementation of a ban on the U.N. Palestinian relief agency UNRWA in Israel - due to come into effect on Thursday - will be disastrous and cripple UNRWA's work in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, the UNRWA chief told the Security Council on Tuesday. Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner-general of UNRWA, said the ban on UNRWA would "heighten instability and deepen despair in the occupied Palestinian territory at a critical moment," undermine a ceasefire in Gaza and sabotage the enclave's recovery and political transition.
