The Israeli parliament's decision to sever ties with UNRWA risks adding further volatility to the conflict in Gaza. This move will disrupt Gaza's fragile aid distribution system at a time when the humanitarian crisis has been greatly exacerbated. The gap in humanitarian aid caused by UNRWA's withdrawal from Gaza will require the support of regional and international actors. The US will play a key role in filling the aid vacuum in Gaza, as it has expressed deep concern over Israel's latest move. Israel's decision comes at a critical juncture in the conflict in the Middle East, and the international community is likely to encourage Israel to expand the avenues of humanitarian aid into Gaza and increase cooperation with other humanitarian agencies.
