What are the international implications if Israel gets kicked out of the UN?

[PTK]

It would be a good thing, perhaps, maybe, if the UN passed a Motion to provide peacekeeping troops to guard UNRWA as it goes about its business in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. I imagine a convoy of UNRWA vehicles trying to cross from the Kingdom of Jordan into the State of Israel under military protection.

Saw this earlier:

Eide ber FN-domstol vurdere Israels UNRWA-forbud

Norge ber den internasjonale domstolen i FN (ICJ) avklare om Israel bryter folkeretten. Mandag vedtok Israel nye lover som i praksis forbyr FNs hjelpeorganisasjon for palestinske flyktninger.

Remember that none of the Palestinian Arab people for whom UNRWA was created to provide services were under Israeli rule originally. UNRWA operates in refugess camps in neighbouring states. Before 1967, the Gaza Strip was under Egyptian rule and the West Bank under Jordan.

At one point early on the Egyptians offered Israel a peace deal.

West Bank plus Gaza strip plus part of Negev desert would go to Jordan.

Israel turned it down.

Also in early days of Gaza strip there were some tentative discussions between Israel and Egypt about moving Palestinians into Egypt.

The Palestinians got wind of this and strongly objected to it with demos etc. So Egypt made clear back then that wasn't going to be forced on them

As back then they regarded themselves as only temporarily refugees. And would go back to their homes.

It was no picnic for Egyptians stuck between a large number of angry Palestinians and an obstinate new Israel state that who didn't want these people to go back to there homes and farms.

Looked up what government are saying on this.

Joint statement,

We urge the Israeli Government to abide by its international obligations, keep the reserve privileges and immunities of UNRWA untouched and live up to its responsibility to facilitate full, rapid, safe and unhindered humanitarian assistance in all its forms as well as the provision of sorely needed basic services to the civilian population.

Legislation against UNRWA under consideration by the Israeli Knesset: foreign ministers’ joint statement

Foreign ministers of 7 countries express grave concern over legislation under consideration by the Israeli Knesset aimed at revoking the privileges and immunities of UNRWA.

Sounds fair enough official statement.

Question is what happens when Israel sticks it's usual two fingers up at international community who've been supporting them and supplying weapons.

And this isn't just about Netanyahu. It's about the majority of political actors in Israel wanting to ban UNWRA.
