UK Minister: UN aid agency ban "jeopardises" Gaza humanitarian response

The UK Middle East Minister has told Newshour that Israel’s Knesset vote on UNRWA β€œclearly jeopardises the entire international humanitarian response in Gaza.”

Speaking to presenter Tim Franks, Hamish Falconer said the UK was β€œdisappointed” that the Israeli parliament went ahead with the vote despite international concern and would urge Israel not to implement the decision.
