Your daily horoscope: May 9, 2025

  IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY A change of direction is a must this year as you have reached the end of your current journey and need a new challenge. Make a break with the past and make it one that cannot be reversed. Move forward fast and don’t look back. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): Someone you meet on your travels will catch your eye and maybe your heart as well.

Israel Terminates Agreement with UNRWA, Impacting Aid in Gaza

 

In a significant development, Israel has officially terminated its agreement with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), the primary provider of aid in Gaza. This move follows recent legislation passed by the Israeli parliament, which restricts UNRWA’s operations within Israeli territory.

The Israeli government has accused UNRWA of being infiltrated by Hamas, a claim the agency firmly denies, asserting that it maintains strict neutrality in its operations. The termination of this agreement, which dates back to 1967, is seen as a step towards implementing the new laws that sever ties with the agency.

UNRWA has been a crucial lifeline for millions of Palestinians, providing essential services such as education, healthcare, and food aid. The cessation of cooperation with UNRWA is expected to exacerbate the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, where the population relies heavily on international aid.

The international community has expressed concern over the potential humanitarian impact of this decision. Aid groups warn that the new restrictions could severely hamper efforts to address the ongoing crisis in Gaza.

As the situation unfolds, the focus remains on how this decision will affect the delivery of aid and the broader implications for the region’s stability.
