Danish foreign minister: No alternative to Unrwa, critical of Israel's stance

Denmark’s Foreign Minister, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, affirmed on Monday that his country sees no viable alternative to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (Unrwa), stating, "for sure not in the near future," Reuters reported.

Responding to a question from Haaretz regarding Israel's decision to end cooperation with Unrwa,, Rasmussen noted, "We definitely do not see eye to eye on this issue." He further stressed, "Unrwa, cannot operate in Israel under new laws, but what about the occupied territories? We support Unrwa."
