Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) congratulated Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on their appointment as president and vice president of the United States.

Lazzarini tweeted, “we are looking forward to resuming our strong partnership with the United States, due to the crucial role it played towards the Palestinian refugees, until we find a just and lasting solution."

The administration of the former president of the United Nations, Donald Trump, decided, on December 31, to cut off financing for UNRWA.

The former fund provided by the US for UNRWA was estimated at $1.24 billion, which caused negative effects on UNRWA’s projects in West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon.
