...and gets jewed for that
To be clear, it appears that UNRWA was operating illegally there anyhow for many years, regardless of recent legal developments. The Israeli government decided to turn a blind eye all those years, but now that it seems UNRWA have overstayed their welcome, this move was approved as well.
How the frick is UN this r-slurred?
1440 housings units? Jesus, how big is their HQ?
If you figure that each unit is 500-1000sqft
That is about 700k to 1.4 million square feet.
A large Walmart or Costco is probably in the range of 200k sqft. So roughly 4-7 Walmarts if it's a single story
This is the most American answer ever.
So, Israel is demanding rent on land that doesn't belong to them, except in the crudest "might makes right" sense.
The UNRWA facility is right next to the border, but it's on the East Jerusalem side [1].
When will Israeli settlers pay the PLO rent on the land they occupy in area C of the West Bank?

Too bad might makes right is the only thing that matters in this world
Israel seizing property owned by others isn't at all surprising.
Palestinians just needs to gain the protection of a stronger country Wait, all their neighbours hate their guts And Iran is too cowardly to put it's money where it's mouth is Maybe they should try Russia? I heard they're the second strongest military in the world
It's not going to be long until we see Israel bombing the UN building in an operation in conjunction with US intelligence.

LMAO, nothing random about it. UNRWA's whole purpose is to keep the flame of 1948 alive, to maintain in perpetuity and even enlarge the population of "refugees" (read: middle class citizens of other countries whose grandparents fled the war 75 years ago), to give an air of international legitimacy and source of funding to terror organisation and operate their madrassas, and to demand a made up "right of return" that will make Israel an Arab-majority country at the stroke of a pen. They exist only to bite Israel's hands, but Netanyahu is too much of a kitty to do anything about it.
