As the Israeli Knesset gears up to discuss a bill aimed at cutting ties with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), pressure from the United States is reportedly mounting against the proposed legislation.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leaders, including Benny Gantz, Yair Lapid, and Avigdor Lieberman, have reportedly been urged by U.S. Ambassador to Israel Jacob Lew to halt the bill.
