\/…<\/p>\n

Questions and Answers<\/u><\/p>\n

\/…<\/p>\n

Question<\/u>:\u00a0 So, Matthias Schmale, our favourite, so, there\u2019s reports that he has been reprimanded by the brass in UNRWA (Â鶹APP Relief and Works Agency).\u00a0 Also, I\u2019ve seen footage of wide demonstrations inside Gaza against him.\u00a0 Is it safe for him to come back?\u00a0 And also, what\u2019s his status?\u00a0 Has he been reprimanded, and what\u2019s his story?<\/p>\n

Spokesman<\/u>:\u00a0 I\u2019m not aware of him having been reprimanded.\u00a0 So, I mean, if you want to ask UNRWA, that\u2019s fine.\u00a0 I\u2019m not aware.<\/p>\n

He is not in Gaza because his security could not be\u2026 and his security and safety could not be guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Question<\/u>:\u00a0 Is that because of the demonstrations and the wide unease about his statement?<\/p>\n

Spokesman<\/u>:\u00a0 I mean, you would have to\u2026 I can\u2019t ask\u2026 I can\u2019t answer as to the motivation of people who are demonstrating, but it was clear to us that his safety and security could not be guaranteed, obviously, because of demonstrations and other issues.<\/p>\n

Correspondent<\/u>:\u00a0 You can read the signs that they carry.<\/p>\n

Spokesman<\/u>:\u00a0 No, I\u2026 listen, you\u2026 we can all read the signs.\u00a0 What I\u2019m telling you is that given what\u2026 the events that have been going on and what has been said against him that his safety and security could no longer be guaranteed, so he is not in Gaza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
