Israel to Vote Monday on Laws Restricting UNRWA, Revoking 1967 Agreement Amid Hamas Concerns
Oct 27, 2024, 08:52 PM
Israel is poised to pass legislation next week aimed at restricting the activities of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). This move follows a report indicating that one of the proposed bills would revoke a 1967 agreement that provided the legal basis for UNRWA's operations. Both the Israeli opposition and the governing coalition are expected to support the legislation, which has been fueled by allegations that UNRWA has employed individuals linked to Hamas and has been involved in various acts of violence against Israelis. Concerns have been raised that if the bill passes, it could lead to Israel's suspension from the United Nations, as Israeli officials have warned that severing ties with UNRWA may jeopardize Israel's standing within the UN. The legislation is set to be voted on Monday, amid ongoing debates about the agency's role and accountability.
