Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade
Engagement with UNRWA Deputy Director John Whyte
2:00 am
Mr. John Whyte:
What I find is that different organisations adopt different and contrasting approaches to the same situation. I am not the politician in the room but the EU must operate by consensus and, of course, there are very divided opinions within the EU. Perhaps this is a part of the issue. From an UNRWA point of view, we are keen to engage with all member states to try to promote the value and importance of what we are doing, and demonstrate the necessity of it and how critical it is if these services are lost.
