Ramallah - Saba:
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has condemned the storming of UNRWA schools in al-Quds and Qalandia by the Zionist enemy forces and police, their assault on students and teaching staff, and their closure.
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday that "this means depriving hundreds of students of their right to education and harming the educational process, in a flagrant violation of the immunity and privileges enjoyed by the United Nations and its headquarters and affiliated institutions, and a serious attack on international law and international legitimacy resolutions that clearly confirm that Jerusalem is an integral part of the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967 and the capital of the State of Palestine."
The statement continued: "We also condemn the ongoing aggression of the Zionist occupation on the Palestinian camps, especially in the northern West Bank, and the targeting of UNRWA headquarters, schools and affiliated institutions in those camps," considering that they fall within the framework of the occupation's attempts to liquidate the Palestinian cause, and eliminate the right of return for refugees and get rid of the status of asylum by force of occupation and in accordance with its expansionist colonial interests map.
The statement of the Palestinian Foreign Ministry stressed that international tolerance of the crimes of the Zionist enemy forces against the sons of the Palestinian people has reached the point where the occupation completes its crimes to reach international institutions established by an international resolution.
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry stated, at the end of its statement, that it is constantly following up on the occupation’s war on UNRWA with all international parties, most notably the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the UN Security Council, and with the Commissioner-General of UNRWA, Philippe Lazzarini, as this issue was the subject of in-depth dialogue and discussion in the last meeting that brought together Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Faresin Aghabekian Shahin with Lazzarini in Cairo, and it continues to follow up on translating the international consensus on rejecting the occupation’s decision into practical steps to force it to back down from it.
