Norway’s Espen Barth Eide: No one can take on UNRWA's responsibilities in meeting the fundamental needs of Palestine refugees for food, protection, shelter health care & education. UNRWA makes tremendous effort when other aid organizations were forced to leave Gaza https://www.regjeringen.no/en/aktuelt/statement-from-foreign-minister-espen-barth-eide-on-the-israeli-parliaments-decision-against-the-un-relief-and-works-agency-for-palestine-refugees-unrwa/id3066833/

Unrwa was founded as a part of the legacy of Count Folke Bernadotte. In Sweden we also have a government agency named after him. https://www.unrwa.org/newsroom/official-statements/bernadotte-his-legacy-palestine-refugees

Sweden’s royal house has also shown a commitment to the legacy of Folke Bernadotte over the years. On a day named after him Crown Princess Victoria inaugurated an exhibition to commemorate his efforts as the first UN mediator in Israel / Palestine. https://fba.se/press/nyhetsarkiv/2015/folkedagen/

As you can tell from pictures with Crown Princess Victoria at the inauguration of the exhibition (mentioned above), Unrwa was also highlighted. Bilden från Svensk Damtidning.

Unrwa head Lazzarini: “This is a sad day for Palestine Refugees and the multilateral system which Sweden has spearheaded.
It comes at a time when UNRWA is under unprecedented politically- driven attacks, including through the use of disinformation.” https://x.com/unlazzarini/status/1870066700378329387?s=46&t=e-wy6aPXQ5McydqpvyjYtg

Recommend this thread by Martin Konecny, which shows how contradictory Sweden’s decision is. https://x.com/MartinKonecny/status/1870220072020525085
