Israel's foreign minister calls on Unrwa head to resign

Israel's foreign minister said on Monday he had cancelled meetings with the head of the UN refugee agency for Palestinians (Unrwa) and called on him to resign following allegations that some UN staff were involved in the 7 October attacks on Israel.

"I have just cancelled the meetings of Unrwa head Philippe Lazzarini with officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Israel," Foreign Minister Israel Katz said.

Israel is yet to provide any details or evidence that staff were involved in the attacks.
