Cessation of UNRWA Activity Law (Amendment – Non-Supply of Electricity and Water and Authority to Take Possession of Real Estate) Bill

What does the bill do?

The bill adds two sections to the law: Section 2A, stating that electricity and water suppliers will not provide services to properties registered in UNRWA's name, with the creation of a 30-day warning process before the service is cut off, so that the registered owner of the property may submit a request to change the consumer's name and an affidavit that they do not represent UNRWA. Section 2B gives the state the authority to take possession of real estate that was held by UNRWA in specific compounds in Kafr Aqab, Ma'alot Dafna and Jerusalem, without the need for legal proceedings, through an Israel Land Authority employee appointed for this purpose.
