UN chief Antonio Guterres condemned Israel's move to demolish the headquarters of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees in east Jerusalem, his spokesman said Tuesday, calling the site "inviolable and immune" from interference.
"The secretary-general urges the government of Israel to immediately cease the demolition of the UNRWA Sheikh Jarrah compound, and to return and restore the compound and other UNRWA premises to the United Nations without delay," spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters.
