Labelling Unrwa a terrorist organisation is ‘nonsense’, EU chief diplomat says

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell harshly criticised Israel’s move to label Unrwa as a "terrorist" organisation in a post on X on Thursday, calling it "nonsense".

“Outlawing Unrwa – and labelling it as terrorist, which it is not – amounts to targeting regional stability and human dignity of all those benefiting from the UN agency work. We join many partners in urging the Israeli government to halt this nonsense.”
