United Nations chief Antonio Guterres condemns the Israeli takeover of a training center run by UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, in East Jerusalem.
“The Secretary-General is greatly alarmed at this development, as it will deprive young people of the vocational education they were receiving,” spokesman Stephane Dujarric says.
He adds that the training center “and other UNRWA premises are premises of the United Nations. They are inviolable and immune from any form of interference.”
