Ben-Gvir Orders Israeli Forces to Raid UNRWA Centres in West Bank
August 27, 2026“NO UNRWA. THEY WILL NOT BE HERE.”
Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has ordered Israeli forces to raid UNRWA facilities in the occupied West Bank, declaring:
“On my shift there is no UNRWA… they will not be here.”
Israeli forces entered UNRWA vocational centres in Qalandiya and Kufr Aqab, facilities that provide education and services to approximately 16,000 Palestinian refugees.
The raids come months after Israeli authorities moved against UNRWA’s headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem, as Israel continues its campaign against the UN agency.
What happens to an entire refugee population when the institutions providing education, healthcare, and basic services are systematically dismantled?
Far-right ministers are racing to demolish international organizations serving Palestinians to finalize illegal annexation.
Storming international diplomatic facilities and celebrating the end of refugee aid is not defense—it is total lawlessness.
PROTECT HUMANITARIAN AID.

English Script:
Ben-Gvir: I am sitting here in what was the UNRWA director’s room. The director sat here managing, and thank God, on my shift there is no UNRWA, no management, they will not be here. The police, the Israeli army, West Bank border police, and the Masada Unit of the Prison service, all of them joined together in a big operation to get UNRWA out and in this place there will be a school for children. Anyone who supports terrorism, should be expelled in disgrace, that’s how it is in the state of Israel
