Israeli Parliament Passes Law to Ban UN Relief Agency UNRWA From Operating Inside the Country
Israel’s parliament voted to ban the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees from operating in the country, impacting millions of Palestinian refugees.
UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini criticized the ban, stating it violates international law and seeks to discredit UNRWA's role in providing essential services.
Foreign ministers from seven countries expressed deep concerns over the legislation's implications for education, food, and healthcare for Palestinians dependent on UNRWA.
