The Israeli parliament gave preliminary approval on Monday to a bill that declares the main United Nations relief organisation for Palestinians a terrorist organisation and proposes to sever relations with the body, Reuters reports.

The vote against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) is the latest step in an Israeli push against the Agency, which Israeli leaders have accused of collaborating with the Hamas Movement in Gaza.

Israel has said hundreds of UNRWA staff are members of terrorist groups, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, but has yet to provide evidence to a UN-appointed review.

And how the UNRWA responded, which, as we've seen time and time again, is never enough for these bloodthirsty ghouls: https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/04/1149081

When will the rest of the world learn that it is pointless to try to placate Israel or treat them as though they are acting in good faith? The whole state is run by genocidal fascists who will never be satisfied by even the most obeisant allies.
