Israel passes law to restrict UN agency operations in Gaza
Summary: Israel's parliament has passed a law that could ban the U.N. agency providing aid in Gaza from operating in Israel. The bill, approved by a vote of 92-10, prohibits the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees from any activities inside Israel.
This legislation comes as humanitarian conditions in Gaza worsen, with over 1.9 million people displaced and facing severe shortages. Israel claims some UNRWA employees were involved in recent attacks, while the agency denies these allegations.
The law may take effect within 60 to 90 days. Meanwhile, Israeli military operations continue in Gaza, with reports of significant casualties and damage to medical facilities. International efforts for a ceasefire are ongoing amid the escalating crisis.
