The Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee will hold an unusual tour of the UNRWA compound in Kfar Aqab, north of Jerusalem, next week — following legislation by committee chair Boaz Bismut and MK Yulia Malinovsky to remove UNRWA from the site, which has been implemented only at the Givat HaTachmoshet compound so far, according to Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom).
The Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee is planning a rare site visit to the UNRWA compound in Kfar Aqab, in northern Jerusalem, during the week beginning Sunday. According to Ariel Kahana of Israel Hayom, the tour is linked to legislation sponsored by committee chair MK Boaz Bismut and MK Yulia Malinovsky (Yisrael Beitenu) to expel UNRWA from Israeli territory — a law that, so far, has been enforced only at the Givat HaTachmoshet compound, not in Kfar Aqab.
A large-scale enforcement operation in Kfar Aqab was reported on Monday, involving hundreds of Border Police, Jerusalem District undercover units, IDF soldiers from the Binyamin Brigade, and municipal officials, according to The Zioneer's previous coverage (June 22, 17:53 Jerusalem). The operation aimed to reinforce governance along the seam zone and improve security. Today's announcement of the committee visit suggests lawmakers are seeking to verify the status of implementation in the field. The exact date and scope of the tour have not been detailed yet.
