On 9 November, the Committe on Foreign Affairs will hold an exchange of views with Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). This is the first time Mr Lazzarini will hold an exchange of views in AFET after his appointment as Commissioner General in March 2020.
The exchange will give MEPs the opportunity to discuss the assistance provided by UNRWA to Palestinian refugee Communities in the occupied Palestinian Territories, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria as well as UNRWA's longer-term budgetary needs and UNRWA's process of reforms.
