UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called on the Israeli government to withdraw its decision requiring UNRWA to “cease its operations in Jerusalem and vacate all buildings it operates in the city by 30 January.”
Guterres said he regretted the decision and called on the Israeli government to withdraw it given the legal framework surrounding the activities of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and its irreplaceable nature.
