The US state department said it was ‘deeply concerned’ by proposed legislation in Israel to ban the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (Unrwa).

‘Unwra plays a critical, important role in delivering humanitarian assistance to civilians that need it in Gaza,’ US state department spokesperson Matthew Miller said. ‘There’s nobody that can replace them right now in the middle of the crisis’. The legislation passed the Knesset in a 92-10 vote late on Monday, and comes into effect within the next 90 days.

Tell me and israel.
Concerned and useless "génocidaires."
Concerned, meaning nothing/.
UNRWA….rotten to the core
Can he say once whatever he believes in and not what it is politically correct
After N0v5, he will b g0ne
One country can not ban the whole nation this mean UN roll is finished any body can Ban UN
You can see on the kibbutz cameras how these UNRWA workers are abusing and abducting Israelis; it’s truly shocking. This organization must be banned.
How is this allowed? Israel is literally controlling the world with the way they act it’s honestly not even shocking anymore how many mouthpieces they have everywhere. Purely disgusting nepotism.
I used to respect the US. That was back when I got all my "news" from American media 😅😅😅
USA so weak in front of Israel
Wow, for the past 12 months, the United States government has been “concerned“. Now the United States government is “deeply concerned“
Deeply concerned and…no action.
They’ve been “concerned” all year. They were never this “concerned” about Iraq or lybia or Afghanistan or Syria etc. They went straight in
He's lying. America told Israel to ban UNRWA
Wow, the best the US can do is 'urge Israel ' …pathetic, spineless gov't
Why is the UN not concerned about addressing Israel's ACCUSATIONS about UNRWA ?
About employees working with or for hamas, giving supplies to hamas instead of the palestinians that need it ?
Anyway, even if it passes, it will come in effect in 3 months, and that will be way past the boiling point of this outrage.
What they going to do, they gave an ultimatum to improve humanitarian aid and now this happens. Bet you do nothing. Complicit in this catastrophe
Deeply concerned means, It's Okay.
Hold on, Israel did the right thing. Are you forgetting about October 7th?
Stop funding their war crimes!!!!!
Deeply concerned your having a laugh 🤮🤮🤮💀💀💀
You are the tail of the dog 🐕 Israel control your country
Defund UNRWA!
the United States provided for 70% of Isarel's military budget this year. How long can we afford to do that?
Ouch deeply.
Deeply concerned?Are you considering writing another harsh letter?
Deeply concerned for over a year
