Israel's Ban on UNRWA: A Declaration of War on the UN
EDITORIAL. By seeking to "prevent" any UNRWA activity in the Palestinian territory, Israel is sinking deeper into its status as a pariah state under international law.

The two laws are contained in a few short paragraphs. They aim, literally, to "prevent" any activity of UNRWA " within the sovereign territory of the State of Israel". Adopted Monday evening by the Israeli parliament - only a handful of elected officials opposed them - these texts aim to make it impossible for the UN agency responsible for Palestinian refugees to continue its operations, whether in Gaza, the West Bank or East Jerusalem.
This is the culmination of a declaration of war not only against the Palestinians, millions of whom depend on the UN agency, but also against the international system. Their implementation will put Israel in direct violation of the UN Charter. By further obstructing relief for the martyred population of Gaza, Israel is also contravening the orders issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which has deemed it โplausibleโ that genocide is being committed in Gaza.
The United States, but also many Western countries, including France and Germany, had warned the Israeli authorities against the temptation to take this step, which would further push Israel into the status of a pariah state in the eyes of international law. Nothing could be done.

In these laws, inspired by Israeli extremist groups, the parliamentarians explicitly refer to the abrogation of an agreement concluded between the UN and Israel on June 14, 1967. It is worth dwelling on this: having just won the Six-Day War, Israel will now control all of the Palestinian territories, including the refugee camps where the Palestinians were crammed following the creation of Israel in 1948.
Moshe Dayan, the famous Israeli warlord, did not hide his satisfaction: he had obtained that these Palestinian refugees continue to be taken care of by the UN, that is to say by the international community, and not by the Israeli occupier. A great victory, which will allow the Hebrew State to continue its colonization at a lower cost.
More than half a century later, the shift is spectacular. Gaza, the West Bank and the Arab part of Jerusalem now appear as an integral part of Israel's "sovereign territory". A territory in which the UN is now considered a hostile entity. Israeli parliamentarians are giving their government three months to fully implement these laws (even though the 1967 agreement has already been repealed). ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ: ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฌ๐ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ก๐ฌ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฌ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง๐ฌ ๐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ก๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐๐ง ๐ซ๐๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ก๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐๐ซ. ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ฒ.
