The law bans the agency, created in 1949 to support Palestinian refugees, from operating on Israeli territory. The decision has also forced many foreign UNRWA employees in East Jerusalem to leave due to visa denials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe hoped Israel would reopen the schools at the start of the academic year. But that has not happened,\u201d said Jonathan Fowler, UNRWA spokesperson now based in Amman. \u201cTargeting Palestinian education is too easy for Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fowler added that even before the closures, nearly 2,000 Palestinian children in East Jerusalem struggled to find school places.
