Middle East: Israeli protesters storm UNRWA headquarters in East Jerusalem

Jerusalem, 26 May (LaPresse) – A dozen Israeli protesters, including a member of parliament, have stormed the compound of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in East Jerusalem. This was reported by UNRWA coordinator for the West Bank, Roland Friedrich. The member of parliament who is part of the group of protesters is Yulia Malinovsky, who was among the parliamentarians who promoted the Israeli law banning UNRWA. Israel has accused the agency, which is the main provider of aid to Gaza, of having Hamas infiltrators in its ranks, allegations rejected by the UN. There are currently no comments from the Israeli police.
