Jerusalem mayor vows to expel UNRWA from Jerusalem

Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat announced that he intends to expel the UNRWA organization from Jerusalem and replace the services it provides with those of the municipality
Since 1965, the organization has been responsible for about 30,000 residents in the Shuafat refugee camp and provides them with municipal services as well as caring for their education and welfare.
Speaking at a Hadashot conference, Barkat said that “UNRWA is a foreign and unnecessary entity that has failed miserably, and I intend to expel it from Jerusalem. Only one percent of the students choose to teach their children in their schools and the incitement there is rising.”
According to Barkat, “the cleanliness of their responsibility is deteriorating, their welfare services do not give hope to the residents, and their satisfaction is very low. In every parameter, UNRWA does not function and fails.”
Barkat added that he has “instructed the municipality’s professional staff to prepare a work plan that I will present to the prime minister for the evacuation of UNRWA from Jerusalem.”
“We will close their schools and allow students to hope and grow up in the existing schools throughout the city. Their failures in our programs that combine expenditure from poverty and employment, and replace the poor cleaning services with the expansion of municipal cleaning services that have been upgraded.”
