On Monday evening in Jerusalem, Deputy Mayor Arieh King publicly accused the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) of harboring 'agents' and called for the closure of its local compound. This led to a series of protests, with Israeli settlers gathering outside the UNRWA headquarters, demanding the expulsion of the agency's staff and the cessation of its operations. The demonstrations, responding to the deputy mayor's call, saw hundreds of local residents in the Ma'alot Dafna neighborhood join in demanding the organization's ouster.
