MIFTAH: Targeting the Witness Not the Crime... The issue is no longer confined to Palestine. It becomes a question about the future of international law and accountability for EVERYONE. Protection of civil society, lawyers, and human rights defenders is NOT OPTIONAL, it is essential for truth, justice, and the demand for accountability

A UN expert claimed Israel was systematically torturing Palestinians on a scale "that suggests collective vengeance and destructive intent", in a report released to media on Friday.

Francesca Albanese, the UN's special rapporteur on the rights situation in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, said that since Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack, which triggered the Gaza war, Palestinians in custody "have been subjected to exceptionally ruthless physical and psychological abuse"...

Israel has the obligation to ensure access to the essential supplies of daily life, including food, water, medical supplies and services, and to facilitate the work of UNRWA in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem where Israel is not entitled to exercise sovereignty...

UNRWA

@UNRWA

 

“The plug has been pulled on humanitarian services. 

 

Over the past days, utility providers have severed electricity and water one by one to UNRWA’s schools, health centres, and other service provision points across occupied #EastJerusalem. 

 

These actions come against the backdrop of the anti-UNRWA laws amended late last month by the Israeli parliament, forcing utility providers to suspend services to UNRWA. 

 

We need electricity to light up classrooms and offices, to keep life-sustaining medication cooled, and to heat buildings. 

 

We need water to keep our premises clean, and simply to wash hands. 

 

Electricity and water are among the basic preconditions of dignified healthcare and education. 

 

In October last year, the @‌CIJ_ICJ ruled that Israel has the obligation to ensure access to the essential supplies of daily life, including food, water, medical supplies and services, and to facilitate the work of UNRWA in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem where Israel is not entitled to exercise sovereignty. 

 

It further noted that the Israeli laws were impeding UNRWA’s operations. 

 

The amendments take these Israeli laws a step further. 

 

These cuts are a deliberate effort to weaponise basic necessities in the attacks by Israel – a @‌UN member state – against UNRWA, at the expense of critical services and access to fundamental rights for #Palestine Refugees. They are designed to end our longstanding presence in East Jerusalem, which in itself predates the Israeli occupation.” —

"These shameful tactics are part of the relentless campaign by Israeli authorities to unilaterally prevent UNRWA from executing its #UNGA mandate in occupied East Jerusalem, which does not fall under Israeli sovereignty. The application of Israeli law therein is illegal. In October 2025, the @CIJ_ICJ ruled that Israel is obliged to facilitate relief provided by UNRWA. And yet, the present actions represent the very opposite." Roland Friedrich

The @UN footprint in occupied East Jerusalem is shrinking fast. 

 

Yesterday, in a disgraceful move, Israeli security personnel forcibly entered the UNRWA Jerusalem Health Centre, demanding the removal of UN signage. The Jerusalem Health Centre has been supported over decades by member states, many of whom have visited the premises. Later on the same day, a temporary closure order was issued against the Health Centre, closing it for the next thirty days. It may never open again.

 

 Simultaneously, @UNRWA has received notifications from utility providers of impending severance of electricity and water supplies to multiple facilities across #EastJerusalem. These buildings include schools, health centres, and other critical service points. 

 

It is not possible to operate humanitarian services without electricity and water.

Yesterday's developments follow the December 2025 amendments made to the anti-UNRWA Knesset laws. These shameful tactics are part of the relentless campaign by Israeli authorities to unilaterally prevent UNRWA from executing its #UNGA mandate in occupied East Jerusalem, which does not fall under Israeli sovereignty. The application of Israeli law therein is illegal. 

In October 2025, the @CIJ_ICJ ruled that Israel is obliged to facilitate relief provided by UNRWA. And yet, the present actions represent the very opposite. These amendments, if implemented, will signal the end of UNRWA’s decades-long operational presence in East Jerusalem.

"Jews are not responsible for Israel's actions. Israel should not use them a shields, and no one should turn them into scapegoats. We reject any attempt to associate any religion with the crimes of state or non-state actors or individuals, whether Judaism, Islam or Christianity" Ambassador Riyad Mansour- of & for Palestine

"A tent is not a home. It is never a real solution. It is meant to be temporary, a stopgap. But for people in Gaza, it has become a fragile dwelling, one that can be bombed, flooded by rainwater, or torn down and swept away the moment a tank advances. This is not new for us. UNFORTUNATELY!!!! It is the story our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents lived. They were expelled from their homes in 1948 and forced into tents for days, then weeks, then months, then years, and, for many, now decades. Entire camps were erased as the world watched. For 78 years, generations have witnessed the suffering of our people, often in silence, sometimes while their governments enabling it." Mosab Abu Toha
