In the long term, the plan also calls for a possible &#8220;pathway&#8221; to Palestinian independence.<\/p>\n<p>Sheikh Mohammed said that even the upcoming phase should be &#8220;temporary&#8221; and that peace in the region could only take place with the eventual establishment of a Palestinian state \u2014 something that is opposed by Israel&#8217;s government and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/israel-news\/article-874235\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">most Israelis.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we are just resolving what happened in Gaza, the catastrophe that happened in the last two years, it&#8217;s not enough,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There is a root for this conflict.

But she said UNRWA has been excluded from U.S.-led talks on the second phase of the ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>Alrifai said that UNRWA serves as the de facto &#8220;public sector&#8221; in Gaza. And with 12,000 employees, she said it will be nearly impossible for the international community to duplicate the agency&#8217;s network of services.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you squeeze UNRWA out, what other agency can fill that void?&#8221; she said on the sidelines of the Doha Forum in Qatar.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S., formerly the largest donor to UNRWA, halted funding to the agency in early 2024. On Friday, the U.N. General Assembly renewed UNRWA&#8217;s mandate through 2029. But Alrifai said the cash crisis continues.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Votes are great.

Israel responded with an offensive that has killed more than 70,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza&#8217;s Hamas-run Health Ministry.<\/p>\n<p>The ministry does not differentiate between civilians and combatants, but says that nearly half the dead have been women and children. The ministry is part of Gaza&#8217;s Hamas government and its numbers are considered reliable by the U.N. and other international bodies.<\/p>\n<p>Israel accuses Hamas of using civilians as human
