Israel has informed UN General Assembly Chairman Philemon Young that it has ended its cooperation with the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). This was announced by the Jewish state’s permanent representative to the UN, Danny Danon.
“After the UNRWA law was passed, the State of Israel officially notified the President of the General Assembly that it would no longer cooperate with this organization. Despite the numerous testimonies we presented to the UN that prove the takeover of UNRWA by Hamas, the UN did nothing to change the reality. The State of Israel will continue to cooperate with humanitarian organizations, but not with organizations that serve terrorism against us,” the diplomat wrote on X.
On October 28, the Israel parliament (Knesset) passed a law banning UNRWA activities in the country. 92 members voted for the document, and 10 voted against it. The law prohibits UNRWA from having offices, providing services, or conducting any activities directly or indirectly on Israeli territory. The initiative was developed due to information about the participation of agency employees in the attack on the Jewish state carried out by armed supporters of Hamas
