Israeli Knesset could cut off UNRWA's aid to Palestinians DW 10/28/2024
Briefly

The Knesset is poised to pass bills that would prohibit UNRWA from operating in Israeli territory, significantly hampering its ability to provide aid in Gaza and the West Bank.
These bills, supported by right-wing lawmakers, would effectively revoke the 1967 agreement facilitating UNRWA's operations, likely leading to the closure of its East Jerusalem headquarters.
The proposed no-contact policy would halt all coordination between UNRWA and Israeli authorities, crucial for delivering aid through controlled crossings, escalating challenges for displaced Palestinians.
Adalah highlighted that UNRWA's operations critically depend on coordination with Israeli authorities, which would be severely undermined if the Knesset's bills are enacted.
