| Israel set to pass bills shutting down UNRWA despite int'l pressure |
| 2024-10-28 |
| [Jpost] The Knesset is set to pass two bills on Monday that would shut down the United Nations Relief and Works Agency operations in east Jerusalem, Gaza, and the West Bank within 90 days, despite a massive international pressure campaign against such a step. A source in the Prime Minister’s Office confirmed to The Jerusalem Post that the bills were expected to pass. Foreign Ministers from Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom issued a joint statement expressing their "grave concern" over the shutdown, particularly in light of the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza due to the war. As long as UNRWA exists, the only solution to the "Palestinian Problem" is the destruction of Israel - in your dreams, Amalek!

| #5 Israel outlaws UNWRA, bucking international pressure The bills passed 92-10, with support from the opposition parties National Unity, Yisrael Beytenu, and Yesh Atid. The Democrats party abstained. The Democrats (Hebrew: הדמוקרטים, romanized: HaDemokratim) is a Zionist political party in Israel, formed by the merger of the centre-left Israeli Labor Party and the left-wing Meretz party in July 2024. |

| #3 Once upon a time, international pressure might have mattered. After the October 7 savagery, I doubt the Israelis give a poot. |
