Israeli police and Jerusalem municipal officials forcibly entered the UNRWA headquarters in East Jerusalem on December 8, 2025, removing the UN flag and raising an Israeli one in a debt-collection procedure for municipal taxes.UNRWA officials, including Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini, condemned the action as a "flagrant violation of Israel's obligation... to protect and respect the inviolability of UN premises," while UN Secretary-General António Guterres called on Israel to uphold respect for UN premises.Separately, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with President Donald Trump on December 29 to discuss a U.S.-brokered plan for Gaza, as Israel begins constructing a 50-mile barrier along its border with Jordan at an estimated cost of $1.7 billion.
