Palestinian officials call on Trump to reverse move to end UNRWA's role in Gaza
'We'll do everything to preserve UNRWA,' officials told the Post, describing the Board of Peace's decision as 'driven by the Israeli right wing, which seeks to destroy the Palestinian cause.'
Assessment
Palestinian officials are appealing directly to the Trump administration to reverse a decision that would remove UNRWA from Gaza, framing the move as a right-wing Israeli effort to undermine Palestinian national aspirations. The officials' vow to preserve the agency signals a deepening confrontation over humanitarian infrastructure in Gaza, with the Board of Peace's role now under scrutiny. The outcome will test whether diplomatic pressure can alter U.S. policy on a core Palestinian institution.
