The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has condemned UNRWA's signing of the Framework Agreement for 2023-2024 with the United States government. 

In a press statement Saturday, Hamas called on UNRWA to immediately backtrack on such move and to provide all forms of political, legal, and living support for Palestinian refugees wherever they are. 

"That agreement reflects that the UNRWA administration has once again caved in to the US pressures under the pretext of the financial crisis," the Palestinian resistance movement explained. 

It continued: "Under the mandate granted to it by the UN General Assembly, UNRWA is not a neutral party but has a duty to provide a decent life for Palestinian refugees and to back them in their quest for their political and civil rights, foremost among them is their right to return and self-determination." 

Hamas warned that UNRWA's commitment to purported neutrality has gone so far as to target the Palestinian refugees who are struggling for their legitime rights under international law. 

The Palestinian resistance movement has called on the UN body to seek alternative solutions for its financial crises and not to sign agreements that contradict its mandate with any party, especially the US administration which is "heavily and unconditionally biased towards the Israeli occupation."
