Nebenzya: Russia hopes that the UN Security Council will soon discuss the issue of financing UNRWA. Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya also said that preventing mass famine in Gaza depends on Israel.

Previously, he called the US draft resolution on Gaza a license to kill Palestinians. He said that this step can hardly be regarded as anything other than “outright immoral donor blackmail and politicization of humanitarian issues” “We hope that the Council will have the opportunity to separately discuss this topic in the coming days,” RIA Novosti reports the words of the Russian permanent representative.
