A few dozen Israelis protested outside the Jerusalem office of the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), calling for its dismantling after Israel accused some staff of colluding with Hamas, AFP reports.

“UNRWA has allowed terrorism,” said American-Israeli protester Allison Epstein.

“It is not an organisation for peace. It has taught generations of Palestinians to hate Jews. It’s time to dismantle it.”

Around her in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem, protesters chanted: “UNRWA is Hamas! Hamas is UNRWA!”.
