Arab Parliament Denounces Israeli Actions Against UNRWA Facilities

Riyadh: Speaker of the Arab Parliament Mohammed Al-Yamahi has issued a strong condemnation against the actions taken by the Israeli occupation's minister of National Security. The minister's storming of the Qalandia Training Center, which is affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), and the subsequent Israeli takeover, evacuation of staff, and initiation of demolition have drawn significant criticism. The targeting of other UNRWA facilities in Jerusalem has also been highlighted as a concern. According to Saudi Press Agency, Al-Yamahi emphasized in a statement that these actions represent a direct violation of the United Nations' immunities and constitute an attack on its institutions and resolutions. He urged the international community and the UN Security Council to take immediate and decisive steps to prevent further Israeli attacks on UN facilities and to ensure accountability for those responsible. Al-Yamahi reiterated that efforts by the Israeli occupat ion to undermine UNRWA will not succeed in resolving the Palestinian refugee situation. He affirmed that the Arab Parliament remains committed to defending the agency's UN mandate and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. This includes the right of return and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
