Knesset committee approves proposals to restrict UNRWA in Israel by 2024; UN chief opposes.
The Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee has approved two proposals to restrict the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in Israel. One proposal bans UNRWA operations, while the other sets an expiration date for its invitation to operate in Israel by October 7, 2024. Israeli officials argue for restructuring aid, citing concerns over UNRWA's alleged ties to Hamas. UN Secretary-General Guterres has expressed strong opposition to the legislation.
