New Facts: UN Condemns Israeli Raid on Kalandia Centre
Israeli forces took control of UNRWA’s Kalandia Training Centre in the Kafr Aqab area of East Jerusalem on Aug 25. They entered around 10 a.m. with at least four armored vehicles and more than 50 security personnel while about 20 UNRWA staff were inside. Staff were expelled and blocked from returning, and work was carried out on the premises without UN authorization.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the entry and seizure as unlawful at a United Nations facility. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir joined the operation in person after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had asked him not to. The centre, opened in 1952 and training roughly 340 Palestinians each year, was taken over in the raid.
