Fatah and Hamas oppose UNRWA education plan
The UNRWA agency in Lebanon launched the 2026–2027 school year amid widespread concerns among Palestinians due to its decision to close Rweiss School in Tripoli and Bireh School in the Bourj Al Barajneh camp, with increasing fears about transferring Al-Quds School in the same camp once the building lease ends at the end of 2026. These decisions are considered part of a significant decline in the agency’s services, with Palestinians warning that this is not merely a result of the financial crisis but a deliberate effort to reduce the role and responsibilities of UNRWA, especially as funding diminishes and donor contributions decline. Both Fatah and Hamas, along with other Palestinian factions, have collectively rejected these measures, with Fatah emphasizing that the crisis involves political, financial, and administrative factors. They call for not closing, merging, or reducing health and relief services without providing a suitable alternative, and oppose shifting responsibility to other parties. Palestinian factions warn that these steps could lead to a gradual dismantling of essential services and emphasize the necessity of maintaining UNRWA’s role in providing education, social services, and safeguarding the rights of refugees.
