Israeli forces stormed UN refugee agency building in East Jerusalem
UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini says Israel’s move sets a dangerous precedent for the UN worldwide Israeli authorities entered the offices of the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency in East Jerusalem on Monday and raised the Israeli flag, in a raid they said was ordered for unpaid taxes but condemned by the agency as a violation of international law. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which has been accused of bias by Israel, has not used the building since the beginning of this year after Israel ordered it to vacate all its facilities and cease operations.
