Israeli Forces Close Un-run Schools In East Jerusalem (4680 Views)

Armed Israeli security forces have forced the closure of three schools run by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) in Israeli-annexed East Jerusalem.

Hundreds of Palestinian students were sent home from the schools in Shuafat refugee camp just after classes began on Thursday morning.

Unrwa's Commissioner-General, Philippe Lazzarini, said Israeli authorities were denying children their basic right to learn and accused them of a "blatant disregard of international law".

An Israeli ban on Unrwa took effect earlier this year and Israel accuses the agency of being infiltrated by Hamas. Unrwa denies this claim and insists on its impartiality.

Videos showed girls in uniform hugging each other outside one school in Shuafat following the arrival of Israeli forces outside.

A closure order fixed to the wall of the school read: "It will be prohibited to operate educational institutions, or employ teachers, teaching staff or any other staff, and it will be forbidden to accommodate students or allow the entry of students into this institution."

Unrwa said that more than 550 pupils aged six to 15 were present and that one of its staff was detained, in what its director in the occupied West Bank called "a traumatising experience for young children who are at immediate risk of losing their access to education".

The agency said that Israeli police were also deployed at three other schools in East Jerusalem, forcing them to send their students home too.

"Storming schools and forcing them shut is a blatant disregard of international law," Philippe Lazzarini wrote on X. "These schools are inviolable premises of the United Nations."

He added: "By enforcing closure orders issued last month, the Israeli authorities are denying Palestinian children their basic right to learn.

"Unrwa schools must continue to be open to safeguard an entire generation of children."

The Palestinian Authority, which governs parts of the West Bank not under Israeli control, said the move was a "violation of children's right to education".

The British consulate in Jerusalem said the UK, EU, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey and Japan strongly opposed the closure orders issued against the Unrwa schools and stood "in solidarity with students, parents, and teachers".

"Unrwa has operated in East Jerusalem under its UN General Assembly mandate since 1950. Israel is obliged under international humanitarian law to facilitate the proper working of all institutions devoted to the education of children," they added.

Last year, Israel's parliament ed laws forbidding between Israeli officials and Unrwa, as well as banning activity by the agency in Israeli territory.

Israel captured East Jerusalem, along with the rest of the West Bank, in the 1967 Middle East war.

It effectively annexed East Jerusalem in 1980 in a move not recognised by most of the international community, and sees the whole city as its capital.

Palestinians see East Jerusalem as the capital of their hoped-for future state.

Approximately 230,000 Israeli settlers currently live in East Jerusalem alongside 390,000 Palestinians.

Most of the international community considers the settlements built there and elsewhere in the West Bank to be illegal under international law - a position ed by an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) last year - although Israel disputes this.

UNRWA = Hamas! TERRORISTS!

If you get to see the video clip and curriculum of what is being pumped into kids in the name of education, you will understand the degree of wickedness and sataninism of the world we are in.

I Personally watched a video clip of little kids showing off what they are being taught. Kill Jews, burn jews, etc. All because of a hate of God's COVENANT Nation and people.

Shame on the UN. The UN has degraded itself in ISRAEL.

I STAND SOLIDLY WITH ISRAEL

It's obvious that the UN is actually a tool for enabling wars and conflicts around the world. They will be treating, supplying and funding the warring parties to make sure both fighters have enough resources to keep fighting. I have never seen or heard where the UN actually stopped a conflict.

Just imagine the stupid UN continue to fund Houthis Yemen when they are actually responsible for their misfortune
So far 400 thousands dead in Yemen because of those ragtag Houthis and with the worst humanitarian hunger in the world, yet nobody is talking against Houthis and they come online to beg money for them
But it only Israel the idiots are ing insults

The Fight is between Israel and UN, the children are the collateral damage.
The UN have been unable to distinguish itself from Hamas and that is a serious problem for Israel, and they have to do everything to kill their enemies else they'll kill them.

Let the kids enrol in Israeli schools where they'd be thought proper education and not how to kill and hate.

So the UN is now a terrorist organization using the school as a front to radicalize children? Abeg...take my advice ...go to a teaching hospital simply tell them there is a blockage or deformity somewhere between your ears and brain because what comes in the ear does not get to the brain for processing ... it exits the mouth unfiltered.

@ topic. What's the difference between what the Israelis are now doing and what the Taliban was doing? ... shutting down schools providing Western education?... the UN being the ultimate Western representative? The ones that were making the most noise and giving all the reasons why it was basically an abomination to do so are now verrrry quiet. Why? Hypocrites everywhere

The friendship between Trump and Netanyahu is over

Israeli Army Radio reports that President Trump has decided to 'cut ' with Netanyahu, stating that Netanyahu and his associates act 'arrogant' and try to push around the President

Close associates of Trump told Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs, Ron Dermer, that the President feels disrespected and manipulated by Netanyahu, and that there's nothing he hates more than 'appearing as easily manipulated' in public. – (IDF Radio)

The UN is pro jihadists, cares only about the Palestinian muslims/jihadists and doesn't give a damn about others, including the thousands of innocent Christians being massacred across states in Nigeria monthly by the jihadists and their agents.
They also didn't care about the 26 Indian Hindus slaughtered by the Islamists or even the African muslims dying in Sudan.
It's all about Palestinians, Palestinians, Palestinians .... every minute of the day!
I'm glad the Israelis are resisting them and giving them the treatment they deserve.
