‘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.

  1. 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.
