Israel bans UNRWA from operating in country
Israel passed a law Monday banning the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) from operating in the country, which could affect its work in Gaza.
“The Knesset plenum approved Monday evening in its second and third readings a law to cut official ties with and halt the activity of UNRWA, some of whose operators are suspected of participating in the massacres (by the Palestinian group Hamas) on Oct. 7 (last year),” said a report by Israel's Yedioth Ahronoth daily.
Monday’s vote saw 92 out of 120 Knesset members in favor of the ban, with 10 opposed.
