UNRWA, the UN agency for the descendants of Palestinian Arab refugees, is preparing to cease its operations in Gaza, Judea, and Samaria, UN officials told the New York Times.
About two months ago, then-Foreign Minister Israel Katz officially announced the cancellation of the 1967 agreement between Israel and UNRWA. This agreement formed the legal basis for relations between the State of Israel and UNRWA. The announcement came after the Knesset passed a law a week earlier that would terminate UNRWA operations in Israel and areas controlled by Israel by a historic majority of 92 MKs.
