Israel’s 101st Day of Attacks on Gaza: Scandalous Call to Palestinians to Demolish Their Houses
Israel Sent Notification to 200 Palestinians Living in East Jerusalem to “Demolish Their Own Houses”
As the attacks on Gaza by Israel continued, tensions also grew in East Jerusalem. Israel sent a notice to 200 Palestinians living in East Jerusalem, instructing them to “demolish their own houses”.
According to the official Palestinian agency WAFA, the notification sent by the Israeli authorities to 200 Palestinian families living in the Old City area, where the Masjid al-Aqsa is located, indicated that some houses would be completely demolished while others would be partially demolished. Different deadlines were given for the demolition of the houses.
Palestinians were asked to demolish their houses themselves, with the warning that if they did not comply, the Israeli authorities would demolish their houses and impose heavy fines.
The tensions in East Jerusalem add to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, further escalating the situation in the region. This latest move by Israel has raised concerns and sparked condemnation from the international community. The United Nations and human rights organizations have called for an end to the forced evictions and demolitions of Palestinian homes, as they continue to exacerbate the already volatile situation in the region.
