In a statement on social platform X, UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said the arson attack was the latest in a series of threats, harassment and violent incidents perpetrated by Israelis against the agency’s staff over the past two months.

“This evening, Israeli residents set fire twice to the perimeter of the UNRWA Headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem. This took place while UNRWA and other UN Agencies’ staff were on the compound,” Lazzarini said.

“It is an outrageous development. Once again, the lives of UN staff were at a serious risk.”

The facility would be closed “until proper security is restored,” he added.

    “ILTV Israel News” sounds like a very unbiased source on this matter. Especially based on their other videos regarding this war. Very definitely unbiased and true and also that video very definitely justifies arson.
