UN concerned about Israeli attacks on UNRWA schools in East Jerusalem

today20 February, 2025

Background

The United Nations says Israel’s repeated attacks on UNRWA facilities in East Jerusalem is a clear violation of its obligations under international law. In the latest incident, Israeli police raided several UNRWA schools this week affecting some 600 students. Earlier this year, Israel enacted a law passed by its parliament to ban the UN agency, claiming employees of the agency were involved in the October 7, 2023 attacks. Jody Jacobs reports from New York.
