TL;DR

Israel has withdrawn from a 1967 agreement with the UN agency UNRWA, which aids Palestinian refugees, following new laws limiting the agency's operations in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. This decision comes amid Israeli allegations of UNRWA staff involvement in a Hamas attack. Israel's Foreign Minister criticized the UN for not addressing these allegations and suggested other aid agencies could replace UNRWA. The U.S. has warned Israel that hindering humanitarian aid could affect U.S. military assistance, emphasizing UNRWA's critical role in Gaza.
