Simon Harris emphasized the importance of pursuing a two-state solution and outlined a forthcoming plan from Arab states regarding Gaza's reconstruction and governance, excluding Hamas. Attending the Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, he advocated for immediate financial support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa) and pressed European leaders to expedite the €82 million funding for 2025. Harris asserted that delays in funding would adversely affect civilians in Gaza, particularly children, and stressed the need for immediate and practical humanitarian aid in light of recent ceasefires.
It is not enough for European leaders or anybody to give warm words of support to Unrwa. What they need right now is money.
With the ceasefire in place, we are beginning to see humanitarian aid flow, and anything that would impede that is absolutely unconscionable.
