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.

terrorism is when the UN provides humanitarian aid to the people you're bombing, starving, and killing in large numbers—definitely not a genocide, folks

UNRWA is terrorizing Israelis by telling them what’s really going on in their country.

It’s way past time that UN bans Israel from their institutions and puts heavy sanctions on them for their genocide and other crimes against humanity.

So this means the UN will remove Israel's status as a member nation and officially recognize Palestine, right? ... Right?!?
