Israel's efforts to dismantle UNRWA: Knesset debating bills that could ban the agency

Israeli politicians are debating bills, that could ban the UN agency for Palestinian refugees from operating within Israel.
It would also significantly restrict UNRWA's activities across Occupied East Jerusalem and the Occupied West Bank.
7 countries - including the UK, France, Canada and Germany - have issued a joint statement expressing their 'grave concern' over Israel's plans.
Israel has repeatedly targeted UNRWA during its war on Gaza, to dismantle the agency.

Al Jazeera’s Mohammed Jamjoom reports.
Chris Gunness is a former spokesman for UNRWA. He joins us from London to discuss the latest developments.

[edwardsianski]

OMG! Heartbreaking! UNRWA is urgently needed now! What a terrible thing to do to civilians! Israel has lost its soul and moral compass. May St Charbel Maklouf and St Jude ask Allah to assist all in Gaza who are suffering.

[RabbiNyirenda-gg]

We don't inherit a refugee status.

Unrwa did much more damage than benefit

[GreatOga]

This man should be ashamed of himself for trying to defend an organization whose members are leveraging on UN's privileges to commit atrocities.The organization is going down forever.

[servantsofchristph]

So many knowledgeable people here in Aljazeera

[Hlth-cnfh]

Say good bye to UNRWA. For Israel has spoken.

[TheGhost]

Why do Palestinians get their own refugee agency? There are so many refugees around the world who don’t get this preferential treatment.

[nice]

I've never understood why a special agency was created for Palestinians while Jews refugees who never had such a privilege.

[MaakunbeSol-vn]

UNRWA’s 30, 000 are hamas, UN is hamas, aljazeera is hamas … even the calendar was Hamas … I hope this answers the comments section

[Cyrusjw]

Why everyone are concerned they can enter Gaza from Egypt.

If anyone thinks Israel forgot its responsibility for October 7, think again. Those who enabled it will face a public trial in Jerusalem—like Eichmann's, where justice was televised, survivors' voices were heard, and accountability was set on a global stage.

[NKB_POE]

So international rules doesn't apply to Israel?and the UN just sit and watch.

Al Jazeera reporters and their analysts are living in a world of fantasy, who are the Palestinians, where is their land, is it Judea and Samaria the ancestral land of the Jewish people or Jerusalem the eternal Capital of Israel, who are the leaders of the Palestinians what is Palestine, where does it originate from, As long as the earth remains ISRAEL as a Nation will cede any part of their ancestral land to a none existent entity, a myth called Palestine, no amount of pressure or propaganda or intimidation or incitement from any country or organization or institution will make ISRAEL cede or surrender their land to the Palestinians.
