Palestinian Authority says Knesset's Unrwa ban reflects Israel's slide into 'fascism'

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's office has slammed the Israeli Knesset's vote to ban Unrwa. 

“We reject and condemn the legislation. We will not allow this. The overwhelming vote of the Knesset reflects Israel’s transformation into a fascist state,” Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesman for the Palestinian President, said in a statement.
