The Knesset and UNRWA

With the support of 50 Knesset members and the objection of 10, the Israeli Knesset General Assembly approved, in the first reading, a draft law classifying the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) as a “terrorist organization.”

On May 29, the Knesset approved, in a preliminary reading, the draft law initiated by Yuliya Milinovsky, a member of the Knesset from the “Yisrael Beiteinu” party, which classifies UNRWA as a “terrorist organization” and cancels the immunity and privileges granted to it.
