The Knesset plenum approved final voting for two bills aimed at blocking the activity in areas under Israeli control of the UN Relief and Works Agency .

The bills passed 92-10 , with support from opposition parties National Unity , Yisrael Beytenu , and Yesh Atid .

One of the bills's authors, MK Dan Illouz , said the Jerusalem Ministry had plans in place to take over UNRWA responsibilities in east Jerusalem .

UNRWA is not an agency to aid refugees, it is an aid agency for Hamas , says MK Boaz Bismuth .

The bills were passed into law despite immense international pressure to the contrary.

US State Department warned that passage of the legislation could have consequences for Israel .
