Israel Cuts Ties With UNRWA, Risking Humanitarian Collapse In Gaza

Israel has officially severed ties with UNRWA, the agency aiding Palestinian refugees, following a parliamentary vote to ban its operations. Foreign Minister Israel Katz claimed UNRWA is part of the problem in Gaza, alleging connections to Hamas. The agency warned that this decision could lead to a collapse of humanitarian efforts in the region, which heavily rely on its support for essential aid.
