The US decision to withdraw from UNRWA leaves several million Palestinian refugees without schools and basic welfare. This is deeply worrying and risks further tension in a region torn by conflict. The int community, incl EU members, must urgently find additional financing.

Deeply concerning events & tragic loss of life at Gaza border. Sweden & other UNSC members urges actors to avoid escalation. Echo SG @antonioguterres’s call for investigation. This shows urgent need for a resumed peace process for a two-state solution, backed by all UNSC members. teapaw.org/un_news_centre/status/…

Worrying developments between Syria and Israel. Urge all to respect int'l law, show restraint & avoid actions that further escalate the situation. Must urgently refocus efforts to end the conflict in Syria, where the UN-led political process remains the only viable path.
