"In the wake of the US government's move of its embassy to Jerusalem, and official recognition of the city as Israel's capital, Erekat said that now the Trump administration was hoping to sideline the central issue of the right of return for Palestinian refugees by bypassing the United Nations Relief and Works Agency that has been responsible for refugees since 1948."

"They want to terminate the role of UNRWA by proposing direct aid to the countries hosting the Palestinian refugees and sideline the UN agency," he said. "On top of this, they are planning financial aid to the Gaza Strip worth one billion dollars for projects, also separate from UNRWA and under the title of solving a humanitarian crisis. All this is actually aimed at liquidating the issue of the Palestinian refugees."
