The Spanish government has rejected Israel’s ban on the UN Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and called for its suspension. Spain expressed concern over the decision’s impact on the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories, warning it could jeopardize the ceasefire. The ban, effective Thursday, prohibits UNRWA activities in areas Israel’s Supreme Court considers “sovereign territory,” including occupied East Jerusalem, though not Gaza and the West Bank. It also bans contact between UNRWA staff and Israeli authorities, potentially affecting operations across Palestinian territories.
