Qatar Condemns Israeli Occupation Forces' Storming of UNRWA Training Center
Doha | August 26, 2026
The State of Qatar strongly condemns the Israeli occupation forces' storming of the Qalandiya Training Center run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), in occupied East Jerusalem, considering it a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and a flagrant challenge to international will.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns that Israel's systematic targeting of UNRWA ultimately aims to dismantle the agency and deprive millions of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon of its essential services. It stresses the need for the international community to fulfill its responsibilities by taking immediate action to protect UNRWA facilities and firmly confront Israel's illegal actions in order to avert their catastrophic consequences.
The Ministry reiterates the State of Qatar's full support for UNRWA, based on its unwavering position in support of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them their right to establish their independent state along the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
