[HIGHLIGHTS] The Knesset approves in principle a ban on UNRWA’s work in Israel and Jerusalem

The Knesset approves in principle a ban on UNRWA’s work in Israel and Jerusalem. The draft resolution claims that the UN agency is being used to incite and educate against hatred of Israel and harm its Jewish population.

Since last January 26, 18 countries, led by the United States and the European Union, have suspended their funding for UNRwa. The Israeli allegations come in light of the continued occupation aggression against Gaza, which to date has left 28,663 martyrs and 68,395 wounded.
