UNITED NATIONS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 01st September, 2018) The US administration's move to cut all funding for the UN Palestinian refugee agency will complicate peace process in the middle East, a spokesman for the Russian mission to the UN said Friday.
"The recent decision by the US will not contribute to the process of settlement in the Middle East [since] a fair solution to the problem of Palestinian refugees is an integral part of that process," Fedor Strzhizhovskiy said.
He pledged continued Russian assistance to the UN Relief and Works Agency, which supports 5.4 million Palestinians in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
