World leaders and international aid organisations have voiced fears for the delivery of crucial aid in Gaza after the Israeli parliament’s vote to ban the UN relief and works agency (Unrwa), with secretary general Antonio Guterres saying on Monday night: “There is no alternative to Unrwa.”

Guterres said the UN agency would be prevented from doing UN general assembly-mandated work if Israel implemented the laws, which would ban the agency from conducting “any activity” or providing any service inside Israel, including the areas of annexed East Jerusalem, Gaza and the West Bank.

Guterres called on Israel “to act consistently with its obligations” under the UN Charter and international law, saying: “National legislation cannot alter those obligations.”

      They’re getting paid to do it, by us. $18B in funding thus far. And just wait till Bibi strokes Trump’s ego, should Trump win.

        The funny thing is that Bibi is also an egotistical power hungry maniac, it may not be obvious on the surface but they despise eachother. Trump wants to see Israel continue to do their policy objectives, meanwhile Bibi wants to be seen as more powerful then Trump and America.

      Thats because international law is fake and nobody with power really cares about the suffering of Palestinians, hell the Saudis would sell out every Palestinian for a few fighter jets.
