Italy restores UNWRA funding

2024, UNRWA banned and designated "terror organisation"

UNRWA was legislated by Israel with 2 laws on 2024. The first one banned its operations (currently in the article), but a second one designated it a "terror organisation" (not mentioned in the article and it should). https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20241028-live-un-security-council-to-hold-emergency-meeting-after-iran-request 109.49.139.107 (talk) 11:04, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. The second one did originally intend to classify UNRWA as a terrorist organization but apparently that was "softened due to legal obstacles", in any event, material about this legislation is better situated in the UNRWA and Israel article.

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 9 November 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at UNRWA. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
