Israeli Knesset Bans UN Aid Agency In Gaza | Netanyahu Falsely Blames Opposition Leader For Ban

Despite US objections, the Israeli Knesset passes a bill to ban the UN aid agency. UN Relief and Works Agency banned from Gaza, West Bank.

Netanyahu govt defies US warnings, bans UNRWA operations. Netanyahu falsely blames opposition leader Yair Lapid for legislation. Opposition leaders were pushing the bill: Netanyahu told Blinken over call.

Netanyahu washed hands off and told Blinken to take matter up with Lapid. Netanyahu-led govt brought the bill for final vote on Oct 29, Lapid's party voted in favor. 92 Israeli Knesset members voted in favor of anti-RWA bill, 10 voted against it.

7 allies of Israel raised concerns, and said the bill could have 'devastating effects'. Israel's hostility towards the UN aid agency amplified since the Oct 7, 2023 attack.

Israel blamed UNRWA staff for their role in Hamas' coordinated attacks. Several countries halted funding to the aid agency after Israeli accusations.

However, the UN inquiry found no evidence of involvement by the RWA staff. UN body provides aid including education and healthcare in Palestine.

Banning the UN agency would hamper only aid distribution service in war-torn Gaza. UN said Israel's ban on aid agency in violation of international laws.
