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 “clearly jeopardises the entire international humanitarian response in Gaza.”

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