Palestinian Homes in Quds Threatened with Demolition
Local activist Atallah Mazara’a said 11 homes belonging to the two families Mazara’a and Jahalin and a local mosque in Jabal al-Baba area are threatened with demolition.
Mazara’a described the court’s demolition order as an illegal precedent that would displace 50 citizens including children.
He pointed out that the Zionist regime’s civil administration crews handed over 12 orders to stop reconstruction of local facilities since last February.
Such demolition orders came in favor of Israeli settlement expansion in the area, according to Mazara’a.
Mazara’a called on local and international human rights institutions to support the steadfastness of Palestinians who face systematic forced displacement from their lands as part of the Zionist regime’s E1 settlement project, the Palestinian Information Center website reported.
Settlement construction in E1 would effectively divide the West Bank into two parts and make the creation of a contiguous Palestinian state almost impossible.
The E1 settlement project has attracted widespread international condemnation.
