Israel to UN: Palestinian relief agency UNRWA must leave Jerusalem by Jan. 30

The UN Palestinian relief agency UNRWA must “cease its operations in Jerusalem, and evacuate all premises in which it operates in the city” by Jan. 30, Israel’s UN envoy tells UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in a letter.

A law banning UNRWA’s operation on Israeli land and contact with Israeli authorities takes effect on Jan. 30. Israel annexed East Jerusalem in a move not recognized by most of the international community.
