At the end of this month, the decision to ban the activities of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in the occupied territories will come into effect.

The implementation of the decision to ban the “Cause Seal Bearer” coincides with the declaration of war on the camps, which were and will remain the complex of hopes for successive generations, to obtain the right to return to their cities, towns and villages, from which their ancestors were displaced in 1948.

In Jenin, Smotrich cut the ribbon for this war, the goals of which he had previously declared, calling it the “decisive plan,” based on killing, burning, and obliteration. He began it in Hawara and Turmusaya, before changing its direction and igniting its engines towards Jabalia, Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia, and Shabura, in an urgent adjustment of priorities, dictated by the scene of the flood on October 7.

As soon as the genocide in Gaza subsided, he returned to his original destination, to reproduce its horrors in the camps, villages, towns and cities of the West Bank, which he imposed a cordon of iron gates on, immediately after the deal, before besieging Jenin camp with “iron fences” and warning its residents to leave, so that his tanks and bulldozers could begin demolishing it.

The war on refugees and the UN agency sponsoring their dream of return is a war on the cause, to achieve dreams of expansion and tendencies of arrogance, which shape the thinking and behavior of the leaders of biblical fundamentalism.

The scenes of people leaving the camp are heartbreaking, and bring to mind images of the successive exiles, chapters on the Via Dolorosa, from Haifa and Jaffa (1948), all the way to Gaza (2023) and Jenin (2025), and we do not know which stations, and in what circumstances, things will end.
