A new step in a pattern of deliberate disregard for international law and the United Nations.
Israeli forces stormed into an Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA health centre in East Jerusalem. This is a United Nations premises.
Israeli authorities then ordered the centre to close for 30 days, depriving Palestine Refugees of access to primary health care.
Meanwhile, water and power supplies to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA facilities – including health and education buildings – are scheduled to be cut in the coming weeks.
This is a direct result of legislation passed by the Israeli parliament in December, which stepped up existing anti-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA laws adopted in 2024.
The recent International court of Justice ruling restated that the State of Israel is obliged under international law to facilitate Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA¡¯s operations, not hinder or prevent them.
