The United States and several western countries are racing to save UNRWA from being banned from operating in Israel or working with government agencies, according to Jewish Insider.
Israel's effort against UNRWA began following October 7, when a number of UNRWA employees were found to have participated in the massacre. Further investigation revealed hundreds if not thousands of UNRWA members with terrorist ties, and multiple cases of UNRWA material and structures being used for terrorism.
Consequently, the Knesset was presented with two bills, one to ban UNRWA activity within the country and the second to prohibit Israeli government agencies from working with UNRWA.
But the US and Europe, who donate a substantial amount of UNRWA's funds, have expressed fears that UNRWA's collapse could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe with winter coming. While the US acknowledged the problem of UNRWA terror ties, European countries do not even do that in their pressure campaigns.
