Palestinian factions in Gaza call to end latest UNRWA-US deal

The US framework includes monitoring Palestinian school curricula and social media activities of UNRWA staff.

Gaza City – Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip called for the scrapping of an agreement between the US and the United Nation’s agency for Palestinian refugees, saying the deal violates many of their rights.

Dozens of people protested in front of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees’ (UNRWA) headquarters on Tuesday, calling for an end to The Framework for Cooperation — a two-year working plan signed between the US State Department and UNRWA.

They chanted slogans saying the framework “cancels the rights of return for refugees”.
