United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres strongly condemns an Israeli raid on the East Jerusalem compound of the UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA earlier today.

“This compound remains United Nations premises and is inviolable and immune from any other form of interference,” Guterres says in a statement.

“I urge Israel to immediately take all necessary steps to restore, preserve, and uphold the inviolability of UNRWA premises and to refrain from taking any further action with regard to UNRWA premises.”
