Israel’s demolition of Unrwa HQ ‘blatant violation of international law’

Israel's demolition of a UN headquarters for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in Jerusalem has been condemned as a blatant violation of international law. The raid, led by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, occurred in occupied East Jerusalem's Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood. European governments, including the UK and Belgium, denounced the action, with officials calling it an attack on the UN's vital work and a flagrant violation of UN immunities. The demolition follows an Israeli law banning UNRWA, the primary humanitarian provider for an estimated 5.9 million Palestinian refugees.
