Israel bulldozes Unrwa headquarters in East Jerusalem
AI Summary
Israeli crews bulldozed the Jerusalem headquarters of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in East Jerusalem and fired teargas at a UN vocational school in Qalandia. The demolition follows Israel's ban of UNRWA from operating on its territory due to accusations of collaboration with Hamas, which UNRWA denies. The facility had been largely unused for nearly a year due to security threats. Israel defended the demolition, stating the compound no longer had UN personnel or activity and does not enjoy immunity, while UNRWA called it a violation of international law. UNRWA, founded in 1949, provides aid and services to millions of Palestinian refugees in Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon.
