Israel's UN Envoy Cancels Unrwa Agreement In First Step Towards Ban
The Guardian
|November 05, 2024
Israel has formally informed the UN of its intention to sever ties entirely with the organisation's relief agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, in a move the country's allies and aid workers warn will deepen the Middle East's humanitarian crisis.
The Knesset passed two bills last week banning Unrwa from Israeli territory and prohibiting Israeli contacts with the agency on the basis of allegations that Hamas had infiltrated it.
The ban will take effect in three months, but as a first step, the Israeli ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, sent a letter to the UN secretary general and the president of the general assembly officially withdrawing Israel from a 1967 cooperation agreement with Unrwa. "Despite the overwhelming evidence we submitted to the UN that substantiates Hamas's infiltration of Unrwa, the UN did nothing to rectify the situation," Danon wrote on X yesterday.
