Israeli forces seize UNRWA Qalandiya Training Centre in East Jerusalem
Israeli security forces raided and seized the UNRWA-operated Qalandiya Training Centre in Kafr Aqab, occupied East Jerusalem, expelling staff from the compound. Israel cited anti-UNRWA Knesset legislation and claimed the land belongs to the Jewish National Fund, while UNRWA and UN officials maintain the facility is protected UN property. The Israeli Foreign Ministry announced plans to convert the site into an educational and community complex.
