It must be nice to be Jewish and have all of this global power.
That must be real sweet indeed.
Israel’s parliament has voted to ban the UN relief and works agency (Unrwa) from the country within 90 days, in defiance of US and other international pressure to maintain the largest provider of humanitarian assistance to the country’s Palestinian population.
In a 92-10 vote late on Monday, the Knesset banned the agency, which operates in Israel according to a 1967 treaty, from conducting “any activity” or providing any service inside Israel, including the areas of annexed East Jerusalem, Gaza and the West Bank.
Israeli lawmakers also voted to declare Unrwa a terror group, effectively banning any direct interaction between the UN agency and the Israeli state.
Taken together, the legislation – which will not come into effect immediately – is expected to lead to the closure of Unrwa’s East Jerusalem headquarters and would effectively block the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza via Rafah. The severing of diplomatic relations would preclude Israel from issuing entry and work permits to foreign Unrwa staff and prevent coordination with the Israeli military to permit aid shipments.
More than 1.9 million Palestinians are displaced and the Gaza Strip faces widespread shortages of food, water and medicine.
“It’s outrageous that a member state of the United Nations is working to dismantle a UN agency which also happens to be the largest responder in the humanitarian operation in Gaza,” Juliette Touma, spokesperson for Unrwa, said in a statement.
…
Speaking at a daily briefing, the US state department spokesperson, Matthew Miller, said Washington was “deeply concerned” about the vote and had urged Israel to “pause implementation” of the legislation, which could “have implications under US law”.
US law prevents Washington from providing military aid to countries that restrict US humanitarian assistance, although that legislation is rarely enforced.
During the briefing, Miller said that Unrwa had an “irreplaceable” role in providing aid to the Gaza Strip.
…
Unrwa was established in 1949 to provide aid to hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees displaced after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. The agency now provides services to millions of Palestinians in Israel and nearby countries, many of whom remain stateless and live in refugee camps. It has 13,000 staff in the Gaza Strip.
By the Jewish view, it is a crime to feed starving people in Gaza. The whole point of this massacre is to force people out of the area, by any means necessary.
There are condos to be built. Gaza is very valuable real estate, in the hands of the right developer.
The vote by the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) against @UNRWA this evening is unprecedented and sets a dangerous precedent. It opposes the UN Charter and violates the State of Israel’s obligations under international law.
This is the latest in the ongoing campaign to discredit…
