    Israel is expected to approve two controversial laws that effectively ban UNRWA from operating in Israel.

    This is reported by TT.

    The laws are also expected to severely curtail the organization’s operations in Gaza and the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

    Among other things, the text of the law states that Israeli authorities may no longer have contact with UNRWA, the UN aid organization for Palestine refugees.

    The law has previously been met with sharp criticism from the UN and the EU. On Sunday, seven foreign ministers warned in a joint statement that a ban on UNRWA will have “catastrophic consequences for an already critical and rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation”.

    Sweden has also expressed concern about the law.

    The US also urges Israel not to adopt the ban.
