Israel Cancels Agreement with UNRWA

It took a massacre for the Israeli government to finally take action against this evil organization.
Foreign Minister Israel Katz officially announced on Monday morning the cancellation of the 1967 agreement between Israel and UNRWA, the UN agency for "Palestinian refugees". This agreement formed the legal basis for relations between the State of Israel and UNRWA.

The announcement comes after the Knesset last week approved the law halting UNRWA's activities in Israel.

Minister Katz said, "UNRWA - the organization whose employees participated in the October 7 massacre and many of whose employees are Hamas operatives - is part of the problem in the Gaza Strip and not part of the solution."

He added, "The UN was presented with innumerable evidence about Hamas operatives working at UNRWA and about the use of UNRWA facilities for terrorist purposes, and nothing was done about it. Moreover, UNRWA chose not to apply even the recommendations of the UN itself, written in the Colonna report."

As they say, "better late than never". Check out what I wrote about UNRWA back in 2009!
