Israel Labels UNRWA as Terrorist Organization

The Israeli Knesset has officially designated the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) as a terrorist organization, following a preliminary vote on Monday.

Israel has accused UNRWA employees of participating in the "Al-Aqsa Flood" attack, although no evidence has been provided to support these claims.

This decision marks a significant escalation in the tensions between Israel and the UN agency, which provides essential services to Palestinian refugees across the Middle East.

UNRWA's mandate includes education, healthcare, and social services for millions of Palestinians displaced by the conflict with Israel.

The classification of UNRWA as a terrorist organization could have far-reaching implications, potentially affecting international funding and the agency's ability to operate within Palestinian territories.

The move has drawn criticism from various human rights organizations and international bodies, who see it as an attempt to undermine the support system for Palestinian refugees.

This development comes amidst a broader context of increasing hostilities and a long-standing conflict between Israel and Palestine, with both sides facing international scrutiny and pressure to find a peaceful resolution.
