The Israeli parliament gave preliminary approval on Monday to a bill that declares the main United Nations relief organisation for Palestinians a terrorist organisation and proposes to sever relations with the body, Reuters reports.

The vote against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) is the latest step in an Israeli push against the Agency, which Israeli leaders have accused of collaborating with the Hamas Movement in Gaza.

Israel has said hundreds of UNRWA staff are members of terrorist groups, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, but has yet to provide evidence to a UN-appointed review.

Are we living in a parallel reality? Didn't you see how Israel deliberately killed their own hostages, shirtless with hands in the air, or the humanitarian workers, in a clearly marked vehicle, whose route has been communicated beforehand via official channels.

Do you truly believe that the IDF really cares about the civilian lives of Palestinians? Have you heard of anyone from IDF being convicted for the unlawful killing of civilians in Gaza? Nope? All of this coming from the most moral army in the world /s

And last thing I heard was that Israel wasn't willing to agree to their own ceasefire terms and are actively undermining the negotiations. Bibi knows he will be a toast if he stops the war and most likely will be criminally persecuted on corruption charges and there is a chance he also ends up behind bars.
