Ben-Gvir leads seizure of Qalandia Institute
The Israeli occupation escalates its attacks against United Nations institutions by destroying the Qalandia Institute affiliated with UNRWA in East Jerusalem. Israeli forces evacuated the building and detained around 40 employees in a move that the Palestinian government considers a violation of international law and a threat to the agency's existence. The occupation forces, led by the extremist Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, targeted a training center that has been providing services to Palestinian refugees since 1952, following diplomatic visits to the site. Israel justifies these measures by citing the need to build a community center, using infrastructure projects as a pretext to seize land, with the aim of altering the demographic and cultural fabric of the city. This pattern of targeting UNRWA facilities in Jerusalem continues, reflecting a broader Israeli campaign that includes demolishing Palestinian structures and holding the bodies of martyrs in Gaza. Palestinian calls for urgent international action to halt these assaults and violations have been issued.
