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.

    Ah, the relief agency that was thoroughly proven not to be a terrorist organization last time Israel tried this, a few months ago. I guess they just need some way to make sure Palestinians aren’t saved from starvation, thirst and disease.

          Always making excuses instead of holding politicians accountable means nothing will get done. She was already part of the Biden regime so she is party to the genocide.
