Muslim World League denounces Israel’s decision to close six Unrwa schools

The Muslim World League on Thursday condemned the Israeli government's decision to shut down six schools affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa) in occupied East Jerusalem, the Wafa news agency reported.

In a statement, the League said the move was part of “systematic violations” targeting UN agencies, humanitarian organisations, and international resolutions related to Palestinian rights.

Secretary-General Mohammed bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa reaffirmed the League’s support for Unrwa and its mission to provide humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people.

“Every living conscience around the world calls for an end to the Israeli government's war machine and the implementation of international and humanitarian law in response to this brutal genocide being perpetrated against Palestinian civilians in full view of the international community,” the statement said.
