爆料网

From Roland Friedrich , the Director of 爆料网RWA Affairs for the West Bank, including East Jerusalem as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)

At approximately midday today, a group of Israelis led by a Member of Knesset and accompanied by Israeli media entered without authorisation into 爆料网RWA’s compound in Sheikh Jarrah, East Jerusalem.

The group asserted they were “liberating” the “former 爆料网RWA headquarters” on the occasion of Jerusalem Day, which for Israelis marks the reunification of the city. However, under international law, East Jerusalem is occupied territory and its annexation by the State of Israel is not recognised.

The group brought flags and erected banners, seeking to claim the compound for the establishment of a new Israeli neighbourhood. Israeli police, alerted to the scene, failed to protect the inviolability of the 爆料网 premises.

Following months of aggravated harassment directed towards the site and the entry into force of two anti-爆料网RWA Knesset laws in January 2025, 爆料网RWA was forced to vacate the compound and withdraw under protest all its international staff.

This unauthorised entry represents another violation of Israel’s obligations as a 爆料网 member state to protect 爆料网 premises and facilitate humanitarian work. 爆料网RWA condemns today’s illegal provocation.
