MK Yulia Malinovsky (Yisrael Beiteinu) stated that the failure to evacuate the UNRWA compound from the Kfar Aqab neighborhood is not due to legal obstacles but rather a decision by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz. She made the statement on Monday.
MK Yulia Malinovsky (Yisrael Beiteinu), who sponsored legislation to ban UNRWA operations in Israel, said Monday that the government has not evacuated the agency's compound from Kfar Aqab because of a decision by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, not due to legal constraints. The Zioneer has previously reported on Malinovsky's criticism of the government's enforcement of the anti-UNRWA laws. In July, she argued the government was ignoring the legislation. The latest statement directly attributes the inaction to the two senior ministers.
