The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned Israel’s “unlawful entry” into a UNRWA facility in East Jerusalem and the temporary closure of its health center, expressing deep concern over the potential cutoff of essential services to multiple UNRWA sites. Guterres emphasized Israel’s obligations under international law and criticized its actions as inconsistent with those obligations. This escalation follows a Knesset law that bans UNRWA activities in Israel, alleging misconduct by some employees related to the October 2023 events. UNRWA, established to aid displaced Palestinians, maintains that it upholds strict neutrality standards.
