Italy restores UNWRA funding

https://www.ansa.it/sito/notizie/mondo/2024/05/25/tajani-litalia-riparte-con-i-finanziamenti-allunrwa_a96697db-8037-4192-8d93-1a539fd4f67c.html

UNRWA defined as "terrorists". Hundreds of their aid workers killed.

It should be mentioned that the Israeli Knesset has defined UNRWA as a "terrorist" group for providing aid to Palestinians that are being attacked by Israel. Among those who are killed by Israeli forces, there are hundreds of UNRWA aid workers. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/10/28/israel-parliament-approves-bill-to-ban-unrwa Joreberg (talk) 10:35, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is also another article, UNRWA and Israel. Selfstudier (talk) 10:47, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024, UNRWA banned and designated "terror organisation"

UNRWA was legislated by Israel with 2 laws on 2024. The first one banned its operations (currently in the article), but a second one designated it a "terror organisation" (not mentioned in the article and it should). https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20241028-live-un-security-council-to-hold-emergency-meeting-after-iran-request 109.49.139.107 (talk) 11:04, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. The second one did originally intend to classify UNRWA as a terrorist organization but apparently that was "softened due to legal obstacles", in any event, material about this legislation is better situated in the UNRWA and Israel article.
