today29 October, 2024

Background

The United Nations has warned that the law passed by the Israeli Parliament on Monday banning UNRWA violates the UN charter and Israel’s obligations under international law. Israel’s parliament approved the controversial bill, following allegations that some of UNRWA’s staff members participated in the October 7th attacks last year. Jody Jacobs has more from the United Nations in New York.
