Since October 2023, UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, has been under increasing pressure. The Israeli government has attacked the agency, the US has cut funding, and legal cases have questioned its neutrality. According to Al Jazeera, Israeli forces have killed over 380 UNRWA staff members in Gaza during this period. Al Jazeera's "Centre Stage" interviewed UNRWA's commissioner general, Philippe Lazzarini, about Israel's ban on the agency. Lazzarini considers these events a turning point for international law and the global order. The Al Jazeera report was published on February 19, 2026.
