A U.S.-created “Board of Peace” meets with UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, even though it has publicly said UNRWA does not have a role in Gaza, according to an account from UNRWA’s former chief reported by multiple outlets.
The reports say the former UNRWA leader describes the meeting as ongoing discussions between the Board and UNRWA representatives. The Board’s stated position that UNRWA should not operate in Gaza provides the basis for the controversy, while the meeting itself suggests at least some level of engagement.
Across coverage, the central focus is the apparent mismatch between the Board’s public stance and its decision to meet UNRWA. The outlets do not present a unified explanation for why talks occur despite the asserted exclusion, and they emphasize the fact of the meeting and the dispute over UNRWA’s presence in Gaza.
