Key Points
Israel passes law banning UNRWA operations within its sovereign territory
Allegations of Hamas terrorist employment in UN agency
Complete termination of cooperation within 48 hours
New legal restrictions effective January 30
"UNRWA must stop its activities and evacuate all its facilities in Jerusalem," he said.
Israel is cutting ties with the agency after it was proven that it employed Hamas terrorists, including ones who took part in the October 7 massacre, and after years of complaints about its aiding and abetting terrorist activities.
A new Israeli law banning UNWRA goes into effect on January 30.
Danon explained that the law prohibits UNRWA from operating within the sovereign territory of the State of Israel and prohibits any contact between Israeli entities and the organization. In addition, it is prohibited from "maintaining any representative office, service or activity in our territories. Israel will terminate any cooperation, Communication or contact with UNRWA or anyone acting on its behalf."
"This decision comes after years of efforts to motivate you to act against the Hamas takeover of the organization," said Danon. "The decision also reflects reality: UNRA failed morally and professionally and harmed people who were supposed to receive service from the organization." (ANI/TPS)
