Arab Parliament Condemns Israeli Occupation Seizure of UNRWA Headquarters

The Arab Parliament strongly condemned the Israeli occupation s decision to seize the headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in east Jerusalem, turning it into a settlement that will include 144 housing units. The Parliament described this move as a flagrant violation of Palestinian rights and an infringement on the operations of international organizations dedicated to serving Palestinian refugees. In a statement issued today, the Arab Parliament emphasized that the decision represents a blatant breach of international law and United Nations resolutions. It urged the international community to take swift action to halt the continued violations against the Palestinian people and their institutions. The parliament underscored the importance of respecting UNRWA s critical role in delivering humanitarian services to Palestinian refugees. The Arab Parliament further asserted that this escalation is an attempt to undermine the Palestinian refugee issue and den y their right of return. It reaffirmed its unwavering support for the Palestinian cause, advocating for the Palestinian people s legitimate rights, including the right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
