Lazzarini reported that he wrote to the President of the General Assembly following the Knesset’s approval of bills aimed at preventing UNRWA’s operations in the occupied Palestinian territories.

He emphasized that these bills will not end the refugee status of Palestinians, which exists independently of UNRWA’s services, and stated:

"This will cause severe harm to their lives and futures. Today, as we look into the faces of children in Gaza who know they might die tomorrow, we see the collapse of the rules-based international order, a violation of the commitments taken to prevent the horrors that led to the establishment of the United Nations. I call on member states to act and support UNRWA in proportion to the seriousness of the situation and the risks."
