The Israeli parliament passed a preliminary motion to approve a bill designating the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) as a “terrorist organisation”. It mandates that the “Anti-Terrorism Law” be applied to UNRWA, and ceasing all communications and relations between Israel and the agency. The bill also calls for the closure of UNRWA offices in Israel and applies the provisions of the Penal Code related to “terrorist organisations” to the UN agency. Israel has repeatedly equated UNRWA staff with Hamas members and claimed that its employees helped Hamas execute the deadly October 7 attack on Israel.
