The Israeli government has approved the construction of a military complex on the former UNRWA headquarters site in occupied East Jerusalem.

Israel has approved the construction of a new military complex at a site that formerly hosted the UNRWA headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem — a site it demolished in January. The Israeli military complex will be built at the United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA) compound in Sheikh Jarrah, occupied East Jerusalem, which previously provided humanitarian services like health care and education to Palestinian refugees. https://truthout.org/articles/israel-announces-plan-to-build-military-complex-at-unrwa-site-it-bulldozed/ 🕎 🇵🇸 ☮️ #Gaza #Palestine #Press #News
