Channel 7, owned by Zionist settlers, on its website quoted Nir Barkat, in a press statement, saying that "this organization is a foreign and unnecessary." He is considering removing it from Jerusalem. He had instructed the municipality's professional staff to prepare a plan of action for Netanyahu to evacuate UNRWA from the city. He stressed that he would close UNRWA schools, claiming that a better choice for the rest of the city, like 99% of the population would be allowed and replaced by social welfare services. Nir pointed out that the time has come to stop dealing with the Palestinian refugees on this basis and start dealing with them as residents.

Nair claimed that the closure of UNRWA schools would allow students to find hope in existing schools in Jerusalem and that removing UNRWA from the city would reduce incitement and terrorism and improve the services of the population.

The Zionist entity welcomed the decision of US President Donald Trump to stop the funding of UNRWA, months after the reduction of financial support for the Agency. Trump's decision was widely condemned by the United Nations and the Palestinians as an attempt to remove the refugees' file from the so-called negotiating table. UNRWA runs Shu'fat refugee camp, north of Jerusalem, the only camp in the city with a population of more than 20,000, including 11,000 registered as refugees.

The agency said that it provides assistance and protection to some 5 million Palestinian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and the occupied Palestinian territories until a solution is found to their suffering. The Trump administration informed the Zionist enemy that the Americans would allow the Gulf States to continue pumping money into the organization this year to ensure their continued activity.
