Worsening relations between the United Nations and Israel have reached a new low with the Israeli Knesset's passage of a bill designed to eliminate Unrwa's operations in Gaza and the West Bank. This move reflects a deepening polarization that may take years to heal.
Former defence minister Benny Gantz accuses Unrwa of complicity with Hamas, stating that it fails to serve its purpose of improving refugees' lives, instead perpetuating their victimization.
The consequences of a major US ally in the Middle East disregarding the UN and international legal institutions will be long-lasting and profound, affecting regional stability and humanitarian efforts.
The impending legislative decision to shut down Unrwa raises urgent questions about how to provide essential aid to 2.4 million Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, amid escalating tensions.
