The Arab League has strongly criticised the Israeli Knesset's decision to label the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) as a terrorist organisation.
Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit described the move as "reckless political bankruptcy" and an "insult to international humanitarian action and human rights."
In a statement on Wednesday, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, affirmed that such a decision targets UNRWA's legitimacy and its global reputation, pointing out that the move is part of a systematic campaign by the occupation state to undermine UNRWA's role as an agency that works to serve the refugees.
Aboul Gheit condemned Israeli politicians, portraying their actions as evidence of their increasing isolation and a reflection of their lack of humanitarian and moral perspective.
