Arab League has condemned the Israeli Knesset's decision, designating the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), as a terrorist organization, describing it as a reckless political bankruptcy and an insult to international humanitarian action and human rights. In a statement on Wednesday, Secretary-General of the Arab League, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, affirmed that such a decision targets UNRWA's legitimacy and its global reputation, pointing out that the move is part of a systematic campaign to undermine UNRWA's role as an agency that works to serve the refugees. Aboul Gheit underlined that the decision lay bares the extreme isolation the Israeli politicians are facing and reflects their vision which is devoid of any humanitarian or moral dimension. Last Monday, the Israeli Knesset approved a draft law, in first reading, labelling UNRWA as a terrorist organization, with 50 members countenancing the decision and 10 members opposing it. However, the motion should rec eive the second and third readings, in one session, to be effective, within the attack being launched by the Israeli occupation against UNRWA, in an attempt to liquidate the issue of the Palestinian refugees.
