  "summary": "Qatar has strongly condemned Israel's storming of a UNRWA training centre in occupied East Jerusalem, warning that the move violates international law and threatens vital refugee services. According to Middle East Eye, Israeli forces, led by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, raided the Qalandiya Vocational Training Institute in Kafr Aqab, north of Jerusalem, on August 25, 2026, and evacuated around 40 employees after briefly questioning them. The centre, which had provided free vocational training to hundreds of Palestinian refugee teenagers for over 70 years, was subsequently taken over and an Israeli flag was raised in its courtyard.\n\nThe Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as reported by Gulf Times and The Peninsula Qatar, stated that Israel's actions are a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and a challenge to international will. The Ministry warned that Israel's systematic targeting of UNRWA aims to dismantle the agency and deprive millions of Palestinians of its essential services. Qatar stressed the need for the international community to take immediate action to protect UNRWA facilities and confront Israel's illegal actions.\n\nQatar reiterated its full support for UNRWA and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to establish an independent state along the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Doha News also reported that Qatar condemned Israel's raid, warning that it threatens vital refugee services.",
