Guterres warns UNRWA mandate in jeopardy amid extraordinary pressure

UN Secretary-General Guterres confirmed UNRWA's mandate and operational viability are in jeopardy due to extraordinary pressure, primarily from funding cuts and political opposition. The potential collapse of UNRWA would severely impact Palestinian refugees and regional stability, with high confidence in this assessment. The UN also reiterated support for a two-state solution, warning against the erasure of a viable Palestinian state, though this reflects existing UN positions.
