From Philippe Lazzarini, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ General Assembly has given a strong endorsement to the ruling by the International Court of Justice that claims about Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA

being infiltrated by Hamas are not substantiated, nor are allegations that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA is not a neutral organisation.

This vote is an important sign of support for Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA from the overwhelming majority of the international community.

As the ICJ stressed, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA is the key humanitarian actor in the occupied Palestinian territory, and everything must be done to facilitate our work, not hinder or prevent it.

I urge Member States to continue supporting our efforts to respond to the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza and expand our critical public health and education services.
