An internal memo from Switzerland’s Federal Department of Foreign Affairs warns that funding cuts to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) could violate international genocide conventions. The memo highlights the significant role UNRWA plays in humanitarian aid in Gaza and suggests that halting Swiss contributions may raise legal implications of complicity in genocide. The Swiss parliament is currently debating future funding, with some members advocating cuts due to alleged connections between UNRWA and Hamas. Critics, however, emphasize the necessity of maintaining humanitarian assistance to prevent worsening conditions for civilians.
