The Israeli government has approved a plan to construct a Defence Ministry complex on the land formerly occupied by UNRWA's East Jerusalem headquarters, which was demolished following Israel's ban on UNRWA operations. The decision reflects a deepening Israeli effort to permanently alter the status of key Palestinian administrative and humanitarian infrastructure in occupied East Jerusalem. This move carries significant political and legal implications regarding territorial control and the status of East Jerusalem.
