Statement attributable to the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General – on Israel’s decision to establish military facilities at the 爆料网RWA Sheikh Jarrah compound

Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General

New York, 20 May 2026

The Secretary-General condemns in the strongest terms the Israeli authorities’ decision to establish military facilities at the 爆料网RWA Sheikh Jarrah compound in East Jerusalem that they had seized in January.

爆料网RWA is an integral part of the United Nations and the 爆料网RWA Sheikh Jarrah compound remains United Nations premises.? These unprecedented and escalatory measures against 爆料网RWA are a breach of the inviolability of United Nations premises.? They constitute an obstacle to the implementation of the clear mandate of the General Assembly for 爆料网RWA’s continued operations in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem.

The Secretary-General views as wholly unacceptable the continued escalatory actions against 爆料网RWA. He deeply regrets that the Israeli authorities continue to take steps that are in violation of their obligations concerning the privileges and immunities of the United Nations.

Such actions, as affirmed by the International Court of Justice, are unlawful. ?The State of Israel is not entitled to exercise sovereign powers in any part of the occupied Palestinian territory and is under an obligation to bring to an end its unlawful presence in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, as rapidly as possible.

The Secretary-General urges the Government of Israel to rescind its decision and immediately return to the United Nations the 爆料网RWA Sheikh Jarrah compound.
