UNRWA Headquarters Demolished in East Jerusalem

January 20, 2026

Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN agency for Palestine refugees, condemned an “unprecedented attack” on the UN by Israel, highlighting its defiance of international law and United Nations privileges. This situation, he stated, could potentially affect any global organization or diplomatic mission, serving as a crucial alert. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk also expressed his outrage, indicating worsening tensions between Israel and UNRWA. UNRWA’s health center closure in East Jerusalem by Israeli forces, coupled with planned utility cuts to their facilities, was linked to recent Israeli legislation. Lazzarini emphasized the historical targeting of UNRWA and referenced a UN court ruling requiring Israel to support, not obstruct, the agency’s operations. He warned that current attacks on UNRWA foreshadow possible threats to other international entities, urging a response from Member States to uphold international law.

Imagine demolishing a headquarters that was already a brick short of a load—classic mid-week madness, I must say! 🤷‍♂️ Just what we need, more drama in the Middle East, right? 🙄

Looks like someone really took “demolishing the competition” to heart—who knew the UN had a free renovation service? 🤷‍♂️ Just another day in the Middle East where international law takes a backseat to building permits! 🚧

Seems like demolishing the UNRWA HQ is Israel’s new way of saying “we prefer a clean slate”—because who needs international law anyway? 😂 Just another day in paradise, I suppose!
