Iceland's foreign ministry said that it "deeply regrets" that Israel's laws against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) have taken effect.
The foreign ministry said UNRWA had "never been more needed" than during the current ceasefire in Gaza.
Iceland deeply regrets the entry into force of Israeli laws on @UNRWA. The Agency has never been more needed. Its support is vital for the long awaited Gaza ceasefire, relief for Palestine refugees and stability in the region. UNRWA is irreplaceable.
