Ben Gvir and Gottlieb Clash Over UNRWA Law in High Court Hearing

Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Knesset member Tali Gottlieb lost patience during a Supreme Court hearing on petitions against the UNRWA law. They confronted a lawyer and former mayor of Tayibe, who represented UNRWA, questioning his legal credentials by shouting, "Who gave you a law license?" Ben Gvir defended the law, stating it ends the absurd situation where Israel allowed UNRWA to operate within its territory and officially halts cooperation with the organization. He described the law as a correction of a longstanding injustice and expressed hope that the Supreme Court would reject the petitions and uphold this important legislation. The hearing focused on the legal challenges to the UNRWA law, which has sparked significant political debate in Israel regarding the country's relationship with the UN agency responsible for Palestinian refugees.
