Israel's parliament has voted to approve a bill that would designate the UN's agency for Palestinian refugees as a terrorist organisation.
The bill also calls for a complete severing of ties from UNRWA.
Israel previously said UNRWA employees took part in the October 7 attacks, but an independent review concluded there's no evidence to back the claim.
The bill still needs to clear several more steps before being implemented.
Chris Gunness is a former UNRWA Spokesman and he says this bill is being pushed forward based on a lie.
