Israel to shut UNRWA’s operations down in Jerusalem by Jan 30

If there was ever any doubt Israel plans to implement its legislation against UNRWA, that doubt should now be put to rest, according to Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo.

In a letter sent to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Israel’s ambassador to the UN told the secretary-general that the Israeli government expects UNRWA to “evacuate all premises in which it operates in Jerusalem no later than January 30, 2025.”

The Secretary-General’s Office confirms that they received that letter but said they would have no further comment on it at this time.
