12 countries, including eight EU members, condemn Israel’s evacuation of a UNRWA vocational center in Kafr Aqab, calling the move “unlawful.
Twelve countries, including eight EU members, have condemned Israel's evacuation of a UNRWA vocational center in Kafr Aqab, eastern Jerusalem. According to Arutz Sheva - Israel National News, they called the move "unlawful".
The countries, which include the UK, France, Germany, Canada, Italy, Spain, Japan, and others, expressed their support for UNRWA and argued that Israel's entry into the facilities was illegal. They stated that UN facilities are protected under international law and called on Israel to allow UNRWA to carry out its work without obstruction.
In response, the Israeli Foreign Ministry claimed that UNRWA never had permission to use the site and accused the organization of being a "breeding ground for terrorism". The ministry also referenced a USAID report, which allegedly found that over 100 UNRWA employees participated in a Hamas attack, though this was not confirmed by other sources.
