TEL AVIV, Sunday, May 26, 2024 (WAFA) - The Israeli Knesset’s so-called Ministerial Committee for Legislation today approved draft bills that aim to sever relations between Israel and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), and designate it as a ‘terrorist organization’.
The Israeli parliament (Knesset), will vote in the first reading on the bill on Wednesday.
The Knesset's move comes after most Western countries reinstated funding for UNRWA after Israel failed to prove its severe allegations against the UN relief agency.
