In a memorandum dated 3 November 2026, the Speaker of the Palestinian National Council, H.E. Mr. Rawhi Fattouh, addressed an appeal to the Speakers of PUIC Member, as well as to the PUIC Secretary General, H.E.

It also warned of the serious repercussions of dismissing its employees and the potential impact this could have on the Agency’s capacity to continue carrying out its humanitarian responsibilities.
