UNRWA accused two of its employees of carrying out non-neutral activities, and issued administrative penalties against them. Palestinian forces saw the decision as an attempt to alienate the Palestinian employee from his issues and society.

Protest movements led by the coalition of Palestinian forces in Lebanon, the Islamic forces, Ansar Allah, and the popular and civil committees. Palestinian sources told Al Jazeera Net that the protest movements will not stop until UNRWA retracts its decisions against Sharif and Ahmed, believing that they are “malicious, unjust and unjust”
