The foreign ministry of Germany has issued a statement condemning the “escalation of violent protest” against the UN agency for Palestinian refugees in occupied East Jerusalem.
“Israel must ensure the protection of UN facilities and personnel in the occupied Palestinian territories,” it said on X.
“The UN need to be able to serve their important mandate in Gaza, the West Bank and east Jerusalem.”
As we previously reported, UNRWA on Thursday closed its headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem after Israelis set fire to areas at the edge of its compound.
Philippe Lazzarini, the head of UNWRA, said this was the second violent incident in less than a week.
