The Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates issued a statement welcoming the report released by the Independent Review Committee evaluating the work of UNRWA, appreciating the committee's efforts. The ministry also commended the report's conclusions regarding "the lack of alternatives to UNRWA and the importance of its continued operations, as it provides hope for restoring the rights of the Palestinian people and achieving their promised independent state, in accordance with relevant United Nations resolutions." This aligns with the Lebanese side's diplomatic efforts and campaign to highlight the importance of this body and the necessity of its funding to continue its mission, according to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.
