Secretary-General of the Arab League Ahmed Aboul Gheit strongly condemned the Israeli forces' raid on the headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in East Jerusalem.
He described this attack as part of an ongoing campaign by the occupying forces to undermine the agency's role and eliminate its contribution to safeguarding the rights of Palestinian refugees.
In a statement issued today, Aboul Gheit disclosed that the justifications provided by the occupying forces for this illegal raid have no logical or legal basis.
The secretary-general urged the international community to intervene effectively and decisively to halt this Israeli campaign targeting the international agency, which provides essential health, education, and employment services to millions of Palestinian refugees across its five areas of operation.
He also referenced the important vote at the United Nations a few days ago, which extended UNRWA's mandate for an additional three years.
