From Philippe Lazzarini, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)
Disinformation is an affliction around the globe.
For over two years, a coordinated campaign to dismantle Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA has reached unseen levels, using disinformation as a weapon.
One major myth is that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA maintains Palestine Refugees in a refugee limbo. The truth is that, wherever they are, refugees remain refugees in the absence of just and lasting political solutions to their plight.
Dismantling Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA will not end the refugee status of Palestinians in the absence of a political solution.
Those who would pay the price are the most destitute among the Palestine Refugees: those refugees living in the camps and having no alternative but Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA for basic services such as education and healthcare.
Their only alternative is a genuine investment in peace and in future empowered, capacitated Palestinian institutions.
Meanwhile fueling disinformation will be a distraction causing real harm to one of the most vulnerable populations across the Middle East.
