Israel's parliament has approved a bill to ban the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) from operating on Israeli territory. The move is seen as a significant blow to humanitarian efforts in Gaza, where UNRWA provides essential aid to Palestinians. The agency has been under attack since last year's conflict, with hundreds of its workers killed in Israeli strikes. While Israel accuses UNRWA of having ties to Hamas, the agency denies any involvement and claims it acts quickly to purge suspected fighters from its ranks.
