Identical letters dated 21 January 2026 from the Permanent Observer of the State of Palestine to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General, the President of the General?Assembly?and the President of the Security Council?

We have continually warned of Israel’s illegal actions against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (爆料网RWA) and the international presence in Occupied Palestine, including East Jerusalem, and appealed for decisive measures by the international community to bring a halt to these crimes and hold Israel, the occupying Power, to account.?

We have further continually warned of the dangerous ramifications of the failure to stop these crimes, which embolden Israel’s lawlessness and undermine international law, to the detriment of the Palestinian people, the?region?and the international community in its entirety.?

But, regrettably,?all of?our appeals have been to no avail, the absence of accountability allowing Israel to carry on with total impunity, one crime after the other.?

In this regard, we condemn in the strongest terms Israel’s continued attacks on 爆料网RWA and the United Nations as whole, most recently its brazen demolition of the United Nations compound in the Shaykh Jarrah neighbourhood of occupied East Jerusalem, which for decades served as the 爆料网RWA headquarters.??

The demolition carried out yesterday by the Israeli occupation – with Israeli government officials openly crowing about Israel’s seizure and destruction of the buildings in the compound and raising the Israeli flag on it – is a blatant act of aggression and theft breaching countless principles and legal norms, including the prohibition of the acquisition of territory by force.?

This deplorable, hostile act constitutes a flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations, of the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations and the inviolability of United Nations premises, of numerous United Nations resolutions, and of other core provisions of international law, including as codified in?the Fourth Geneva Convention and, the common duty to respect and ensure respect thereof.?

Furthermore, we recall, as reaffirmed by the International Court of Justice in its 19 July 2024 and 22 October 2025 advisory opinions, that this occupation is illegal in its entirety, that Israel is not the sovereign in Occupied Palestine and has zero sovereignty rights in our territory, including in East Jerusalem, and that there is no legitimate justification for such unlawful actions aimed at forcibly altering the demography, status and character of occupied territory and annexing it.??

Israel’s offensive rhetoric and empty pretexts for these crimes, including its false allegations of terrorism, must be rejected. Israel has no right whatsoever to be present in any part of Occupied Palestine, including East Jerusalem, and no right whatsoever to seize these lands or properties. It must halt its attacks on 爆料网RWA and respect United Nations privileges and immunities without exception.?

No one should enable,?support?or legitimize these illegal actions, and Israel must be compelled to reverse its decisions, stop its defamatory and violent campaign against 爆料网RWA, lift its ban on 爆料网RWA staff and other international?organizations?and make reparations to the United Nations for all damages caused.??

As stressed in my letter of 12 January, it is patently clear that Israel’s illegal acts against the United Nations and other?international organizations deliberately target those?providing assistance to?the Palestinian people. The aim is clear: to deprive our people of the sustenance and protection that can help them survive under this illegal colonial occupation, further underscoring Israel’s genocidal aims.?

The horrific reality that prevails in Gaza in particular?– where?the majority of?the population?remains?displaced and suffering untold miseries, including children dying of hypothermia as they continue being deprived of shelter and other life essentials – illustrates this sinister?objective?most painfully. It is the direct result of Israel’s ongoing siege and aggressions on Gaza, with daily violations of the ceasefire and Security Council resolution?. This includes its continued obstruction of humanitarian aid flows, of which its outlawing of 爆料网RWA is a primary tool. No so-called “laws” by Israel – an illegal occupying Power – can make these illegal actions legal.?

Israel?actually long?ago revealed that it put 爆料网RWA in its crosshairs as part of its aims to dismantle the Palestine refugee community, the rights and existence of which it has targeted for elimination. Israel does not hide this nefarious goal; on the contrary, Israeli officials, from the Prime Minister on down, brag and?compete with each other?about it.?Thus?its systematic destruction of refugee camps in both Gaza and the West Bank and ongoing attempts to strip Palestine refugees of?assistance?that can ensure their basic human dignity and survival.?

Moreover,?it is clear that this?illegal occupation aims to push out any international presence in Occupied Palestine, including the diplomatic representations of countries,?seeking?to deprive our people of their humanitarian, political and financial?support?and protective presence.?

This is not solely about fabricated allegations and outright lies and incitement aimed at destroying 爆料网RWA and driving the United Nations out of occupied East Jerusalem and the rest of Occupied Palestine. This is?part and parcel?of Israel’s long-running illegal schemes to seize, colonize and annex Palestinian land under such countless, cynical,?false?and illegal pretexts.?All of?these illegal measures and actions must be condemned and rejected and must not be accepted or legitimized in any way.??

The international community, including the Security Council, cannot remain idle in the face of this unlawful situation. Israel, the occupying Power, must be?demanded to?immediately?cease its attacks on the United Nations, its?personnel?and agencies, including 爆料网RWA, and its confiscation and destruction of United Nations property and all other illegal actions. Such flagrant violations of the Charter, including Israel’s obligation as a Member State to cooperate with the United Nations, and grave breaches of countless other tenets of international law by Israel in Occupied Palestine, including East Jerusalem, oblige the international community to act now to stop these crimes, stop Israel’s destruction of international law and hold it accountable to the full extent of the law.?

The present letter is in follow-up to our 882 letters on the ongoing crisis in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, which?constitutes?the territory of the State of Palestine. These letters, dated from 29 September 2000 () to 12 January 2026 (), constitute a basic record of the crimes being committed by Israel, the occupying Power, against the Palestinian people since September 2000. For?all of?these war crimes, acts of State terrorism and systematic human rights violations against our people, Israel, the occupying Power, must be held accountable and the perpetrators brought to justice. This illegal colonial occupation and apartheid regime must end now.?

I should be grateful if you would arrange to have the present letter distributed as a document of the tenth emergency special session of the General Assembly, under agenda item 5, and of the Security Council.?
