11 countries criticize Israel for UNRWA demolitions in Israel-Palestine conflict.

Eleven countries have condemned Israel for demolishing the East Jerusalem headquarters of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, calling it an unacceptable move to undermine UNRWA’s work. Israel has faced criticism for intensifying pressure on UNRWA amid accusations of links to Hamas, despite denials from the UN. In response, foreign ministers from Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Norway, Portugal, Spain, and the UK have called on Israel to halt all demolitions and allow UNRWA to operate freely in Gaza to provide essential humanitarian aid.
