US Senator Chris Van Hollen has harshly criticized Israel's National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and other extremists in the Israeli government following a raid on an Unrwa facility in occupied East Jerusalem.

According to Van Hollen, the extremists in the Israeli government are determined to eliminate UNRWA, with the ultimate goal of eradicating the concept of Palestinian refugees. He expressed his concern on X, stating that the international community must not remain passive in the face of this threat to UNRWA.

The Israeli forces, led by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, conducted a raid on Tuesday, resulting in the seizure of the last remaining facility operated by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees in Kafr Aqab, north of East Jerusalem. Van Hollen emphasized that the world should not continue to overlook this situation unfolding to UNRWA.
