From Philippe Lazzarini, the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)?
Yesterday’s storming of ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA’s East Jerusalem compound by Israeli police and taking control – including by replacing the ±¬ÁÏÍø flag with the Israeli one – creates a dangerous precedent.
Deliberately and blatantly disregarding obligations under the ±¬ÁÏÍø Charter and the Convention on Privileges and Immunities of the ±¬ÁÏÍø erodes international law.
This should be a wake-up call.
What happens today to ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA can happen tomorrow to any other international organization or diplomatic mission, around the world.
International law has come under increasing attack for too long. This must end.
