JERUSALEM — Israel's parliament is scheduled to vote Monday on a pair of bills that would effectively sever ties with the U.N. agency responsible for distributing aid in Gaza, strip it of legal immunities and restrict its ability to support Palestinians in east Jerusalem and the West Bank.
One bill would effectively strip UNRWA from operating in Israel and the Palestinian territories; the other would bar it from operating in east Jerusalem. UNRWA provides education, health care and other basic services to millions of Palestinian refugees across the region, including in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
The tally includes 96 dead who arrived at hospitals in Gaza over the past two days, the ministry said. An Israeli military official, speaking on condition of anonymity in keeping with regulations, said there was heavy fighting around Kamal Adwan Hospital, though not inside it, and that weapons were found inside the facility.
In Beirut, successive Israeli airstrikes have pummeled the southern port city of Tyre in Lebanon following an evacuation order from the Israeli military for parts of the city, the state-run National News Agency reported.Global oil prices fell sharply after a retaliatory strike by Israel over the weekend targeted Iranian military sites rather than its energy infrastructure, as had been feared.
