If the land was given to you by the U.N. then you don't need to worry about squat, it's yours.
But you would have us believe that you'd allow a foreign government to ignore this U.N. ruling (thereby breaking international law) and boot you off of it because it decided to proceed through it's own illegal venues of litigation? Something tells me that your smugness is tying into your deceptive presentations again.
The land wasn't given to anyone by the UN. The land never belonged to the UN. It was occupied by Jordan and in the hands of the Jordanian Custodian of Enemy Property. The UN just built on it.
Jordan lost it when in 1967 they tried again to invade Israel and it backfired and they were ousted from all the land they'd taken in 1948.
The foreign power here is Jordan. They took the land by force (and in the process murdering 78 doctors and nurses on their way to Hadassah Hospital), and then conspired with UNRWA to settle it with their own citizens (something which people vilify Israel for doing). Those citizens then enjoyed several decades of rent free accommodation. Now they've been booted out.
But I'd hate to let these inconvenient facts get in the way of your hateful slogans and personal attacks against me. Please, carry on...
