MKs give initial okay to bill branding UNRWA a terror group; coalition expected to bury it

The Knesset passes in a preliminary reading an opposition-proposed bill to declare the UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA a terror group.

The legislation, filed by Yisrael Beytenu MK Yulia Malinovsky and backed in the vote by the coalition, is not expected to progress further, with reports saying the coalition intends to derail it down the line.
