Knesset votes to ban UNRWA
28 October 2024, Jerusalem
The Knesset passed two laws, one barring UNRWA from any activity inside Israel and one barring Israeli officials from contact with the agency, set to take effect after 90 days.
Everything here traces back to a single original source. A second, independent source would strengthen this event.
