The U.S. decision to halt all funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) aims at liquidating the Palestinians’ right to return to their homeland, Hamas’ leader Sami Abu Zohri said.   

In a tweet on his official account following the U.S. administration's decision, Abu Zohri added that the U.S. move “represents a dangerous assault on the Palestinians’ rights and constants and reflects the U.S. administration’s bias towards the Israeli Occupation.”

In a related context, the Hamas’ spokesperson called on the international community to support the Palestinian people in the face of the schemes aiming to liquidate their cause.      

The U.S. Secretary of State had announced on Friday evening that the U.S. will halt all funding to the UN body that helps the Palestine’s refugees.
