Tunisia Rejects Israeli Actions in Jerusalem, Warns Against Undermining UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees

Tunisia's foreign minister rejected Israeli actions in Jerusalem and warned against efforts to undermine the United Nations agency that supports Palestinian refugees, in remarks delivered before the UN General Assembly.

The minister also condemned Israeli actions in Syria as part of a wide-ranging address that touched on multiple regional issues, according to reports of the speech. The remarks placed Tunisia among a number of countries that have used the General Assembly's general debate to voice concerns over developments in the Middle East.

In addition to the regional security matters raised, Tunisia's top diplomat called for a broader, more coordinated international approach to irregular migration, an issue that has increasingly featured in North African and European diplomatic discussions given migration flows across the Mediterranean.

The reference to the UN agency supporting Palestinian refugees comes amid ongoing international debate over the agency's funding and operations, which have faced pressure from several member states in recent years.

Tunisia's remarks reflect its continued vocal position on Palestinian rights issues at multilateral forums, alongside its broader foreign policy priorities addressed during the Assembly session.
