Israel attacked the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) headquarters in Jerusalem, demolishing the main building and four affiliated facilities, including the parking garage, on January 20, 2026, using an official and governmental decision. This demolition constitutes a violation of the occupying power’s obligations under the United Nations privileges and immunities agreement. It comes within the context of an Israeli law that prohibits UNRWA's operations and bans contact with its officials. UNRWA is an important humanitarian organization that provides services to approximately 6 million Palestinians in various regions. The demolition step raises concerns about the potential dismantling of the legal and humanitarian role that the agency plays, according to the international community’s narrative, while Israel views the liquidation of the agency as a reduction of the international commitment towards the Palestinian refugee issue.
