Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa called on the European Parliament on Sunday to confront Israel's decision to ban the activities of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Mustafa met a delegation from the European Parliament at his office in the city of Ramallah, in the central occupied West Bank, according to a statement issued by his office.

Mustafa called on the European delegation to "confront Israel's decision to ban UNRWA, which aims politically to eliminate the right of Palestinian refugees to return, and contributes to the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian territories."
