Official summary of the law (Knesset)

Over the years, various irregularities were discovered in the activity of UNRWA, and direct evidence was found of the involvement of UNRWA and its employees in terrorist activity against Israel, including through UNRWA's education system, which promotes incitement, hatred and violence against Israel, including the participation of UNRWA employees in the terror attack that began on 7 October 2023. In light of this, two laws were enacted dealing in different ways with the cessation of UNRWA's activity. The first is the Law for the Cessation of UNRWA Activity, 2024, and the second is the Law for the Cessation of UNRWA Activity in the Territory of the State of Israel, 2024. Under the latter law, it was determined that UNRWA shall not operate any representation, shall not provide any service and shall not conduct any activity, directly or indirectly, within the sovereign territory of the State of Israel. In addition, it was determined that this law shall come into effect three months from the date of its publication, and that the Head of the National Security Council or his representative shall be obligated to report to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee once every six months, and in the first year from the law's effective date - once every two months, regarding the implementation of the provisions of this law.
