Israel risks UN membership due to possible break with UNRWA
The United States warns that Israel may temporarily lose its membership in the United Nations if the Knesset passes a bill to sever relations with UNRWA, which would be a violation of the UN Charter.
Representatives of the US State Department said that Israel risks temporarily losing its membership in the United Nations if the Knesset passes a bill on severing relations with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). This move, which is supported by most Israeli officials, would be considered a violation of the UN Charter. The final reading of the bill is scheduled for Monday. The American side is putting pressure on opposition parties in Israel to convince them to oppose the bill, but at the moment it has not been possible to achieve results.
