Israeli armed Israeli security forces forced the United Nations Palestinian Refugee Agency (UNRWA) to open three schools in East Jerusalem, Israel.

Hundreds of Palestinian students were sent home from the school in the Schuffat refugee camp after class Thursday morning.

Philippe Lazzarini, a commissioner of the UNRWC, said Israeli authorities deny children’s basic right to learning and accused them of “blatant disregard for international law.”

Israel's ban on near-foreign rescue groups came into effect earlier this year, with Israel accusing the agency of being infiltrated by Hamas. Foreign rescue of Taiwan denied this claim and insisted on its fairness.

The closure order fixed to the school wall reads: "The operation of an educational institution, or the employment of teachers, teaching staff or any other staff, will be prohibited from accommodating students or allowing students to enter the institution."

The UNRW said more than 550 students aged six to 15 were present, with one of the staff in custody, and the West Bank directors it occupied called it "a traumatic experience for young children who may lose their education opportunities".

Israeli police were also deployed at three other schools in East Jerusalem, forcing them to send students home too, the agency said.

Philippe Lazzarini wrote on X: "It is blatant international law to rush into schools and force them to close them. These schools are inviolable places for the United Nations."

He added: “By implementing the closure order issued last month, Israeli authorities deny the basic right to learning for Palestinian children.

“Nearby schools must continue to be open to maintain the entire child.”

The Palestinian Authority manages parts of the West Bank without Israel's control, calling the move "a violation of children's right to education."

The British consulate in Jerusalem said the UK, the EU, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey and Japan strongly opposed the closure orders issued against schools in Near Territory and were "integrated with students, parents and teachers".

They added: "Since 1950, the North Station has operated in East Jerusalem under its UN General Assembly mandate. Under international humanitarian law, Israel has an obligation to promote the proper work of all institutions dedicated to children's education."

Last year, the Israeli parliament passed a law that prohibits contact between Israeli officials and North Encyclopedia and prohibits the agency from operating on Israeli territory.

During the Middle East War of 1967, Israel occupied East Jerusalem with the rest of the West Bank.

It effectively annexed East Jerusalem in 1980, was not recognized by the majority of the international community and regarded the entire city as its capital.

Palestinians believe that East Jerusalem is the capital of their country in hopes of future.

There are currently about 230,000 Israeli settlers living in East Jerusalem with 390,000 Palestinians.

Most international community believes that settlements built in the West Bank and elsewhere are illegal under international law - a position supported by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) advisory opinion.
