This morning in Jerusalem, hundreds of activists have erupted in protests outside the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) offices, accusing the agency of terrorism and demanding its closure. The protests, which saw settlers blocking the entrances to the UNRWA office, were organized by the Tzav 9 protest movement. This movement has also been responsible for blocking humanitarian aid into Gaza, calling for the return of their loved ones. The demonstrators' grievances include the ongoing Palestinian refugees' status and the UN body's alleged ties to Hamas, particularly in light of the #October7Massacre. Amidst these protests, calls for the dismantlement of UNRWA have intensified, with activists urging for a break-up of the UN Palestinian agency and labeling it a 'Hamas branch', chanting "Close this Hamas branch."
