Quick Glance: Rights Concerns, Costs Impact Turkiye-EU Migrant Deal
- Turkiye's poor human rights record and economic factors are undermining the effectiveness of the EU migration deal with Ankara.
- EU auditors raised concerns about NGOs' ability to operate projects due to Turkiye's authoritarian turn and crackdown on dissent.

Quick Glance: UNRWA Report Highlights Lack of Evidence for Israel's Employee Militancy Claims
- An independent review commissioned by the United Nations found that Israel has not provided evidence to support its accusation that a 'significant' number of employees of the U.N. relief agency for Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip are members of terrorist organizations.
- The review, led by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna, revealed that UNRWA 'plays an indispensable and irreplaceable role in the region,' despite issues such as employees expressing political views and offices being used for 'political or military purposes'.
- The review listed recommendations to enhance UNRWA operations, including improved training, more rigorous employee screening, and a thorough review of all textbooks and supplements.
- Concerns were raised regarding the screening of UNRWA employees and the content of textbooks, while Israel has yet to provide evidence to support the claim that a significant number of UNRWA employees are members of terrorist organizations.
