00:00Israel terminates its agreement with the United Nations that regulates its relations with
00:06the main UN relief organization for Palestinian refugees, or UNRWA.
00:10The agreement had been in place since 1967.
00:13UNRWA provides aid and education services to millions of Palestinians in the occupied
00:18West Bank and Gaza.
00:19Last month, the Israeli parliament banned UNRWA from operating in Israel and stopped
00:24Israeli authorities from cooperating with it.
00:26This doesn't directly outlaw UNRWA operations in occupied Palestine, considered by international
00:31law to be outside Israel but under its occupation.
00:35Israel has long been critical of UNRWA, accusing it of anti-Israel bias.
00:39Meantime, at least 31 people are killed during Israel's Gaza assault on Sunday, November
00:443.
00:45Medics say at least 13 Palestinians were killed in attacks on houses in Gaza's largest historic
00:50refugee camps.
