Tánaiste: 'No plans' for Ireland to suspend funding to UNRWA

Tánaiste Micheál Martin noted that Ireland provided the agency with €18m in 2023 and "will continue our support in 2024".

Tánaiste Micheál Martin has said there are "no plans" for Ireland to suspend funding to the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees.

His comments come as the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) said on Friday it sacked "several" employees after Israel made accusations that 12 UNRWA staff members were involved in the October 7 Hamas attacks.
