Israel's parliament has passed a law, banning the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. UNRWA has condemned the ban, calling it outrageous.
The ban will significantly restrict UNRWA's activities across occupied East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank.
Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, said Israel's ban against UNRWA accelerates its genocide in Gaza.
