Amman, July 28 (Petra) – The Ministry of Foreign and Expatriates
Affairs condemned an Israeli police raid on UNRWA’s Kalandia Training
Center in occupied Jerusalem, describing it as a flagrant breach of
international law and a violation of the privileges and immunities of
the United Nations and its agencies.

Ministry spokesperson Fuad Majali underscored Jordan’s unequivocal
rejection and strong condemnation of Israel’s continued systematic
campaign against UNRWA, its institutions, and its vital role.

He said the campaign constitutes a clear violation of international
law and the International Court of Justice’s October 2025 advisory
opinion, which affirmed Israel’s obligations to facilitate UNRWA’s
operations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East
Jerusalem.

Majali said the measures are an extension of the Israeli government’s
extremist policies and its unlawful actions in the occupied West
Bank. He added that they target UNRWA’s presence and symbolic
significance in affirming Palestinian refugees’ right of return and
compensation under international law, particularly UN General
Assembly Resolution 194.

He warned of the consequences of Israel’s unlawful measures against
UNRWA and its institutions, which provide indispensable services that
cannot be replaced.

Majali called on the international community to fulfill its legal and
moral responsibilities, oppose Israeli decisions and practices
targeting UNRWA, and provide the political and financial support
required for the agency to continue delivering vital services to
Palestinian refugees across its five fields of operation under its UN
mandate.
