JERUSALEM, Dec 17 (NNN-MEM) – Some 18,000 homes in Jerusalem are under the threat of demolition, by the Israeli occupation authorities, the city’s deputy governor announced.
Abdullah Siam told The Voice of Palestine that, the Israeli demolition activities were being carried, under the pretext of the homes’ “illegal construction.”
“The demolition of Palestinian homes in occupied Jerusalem comes, in the context of Israel’s punitive measures, forced displacement, ethnic cleansing, and the Judaisation of the occupied Jerusalem,” Siam pointed out.
The Israeli occupation has been demolishing Palestinian homes and structures, in the occupied Jerusalem, in an effort to expand settlements and force Palestinians from their homes and lands.
