Knesset Bans UNRWA Activity in Israel
(Ynet News) Sivan Hilaie - Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman MK Yuli Edelstein said: "As part of the committee's discussions on the law, a video was shown that proves the involvement of UNRWA personnel in kidnapping a body to Gaza and other evidence of their activity in Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza. In addition, the person who commanded the massacre in the Be'eri bomb shelter, where 16 Israelis were murdered and from which four were kidnapped to Gaza, was an UNRWA terrorist." "In light of this, and since it has been proven to the State of Israel that UNRWA and its employees acted against the State of Israel, the State must determine that UNRWA's activities in its territory will be stopped. The State of Israel will provide every service it is obligated to provide to its citizens and residents in all those places where UNRWA operated." One of the law's author's, MK Boaz Bismuth, said: "If you really want stability, if you really want security, if you want real peace in the Middle East, organizations like UNRWA won't bring you there. If the United Nations is not willing to clean this organization from terrorism, from Hamas activists, then we have to take measures to make sure that they cannot harm our people ever again."
