Israel Orders UNRWA to Cease Operations in Jerusalem by January 30 Amid Hamas Infiltration Claims
Jan 24, 2025, 09:33 PM
Israel has demanded that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) cease its operations in Jerusalem and evacuate all premises by January 30, 2025. This directive follows recent legislation passed by the Israeli Knesset, which terminates Israel's agreements with UNRWA and cites national security concerns. Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, formally notified U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres of the decision, emphasizing the infiltration of UNRWA by Hamas and other terrorist organizations as a significant security risk. The move has raised concerns about the future of humanitarian aid for Palestinians, as UNRWA plays a crucial role in providing services such as education and healthcare due to its alleged ties with Hamas.
