Occupied Jerusalem - SANA
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that the demolition of the Israeli occupation and its seizure of Palestinian homes and installations is a crime against humanity that the world continues to ignore.
The ministry clarified in a statement today quoted by "Wafa" agency that the dangerous escalation in demolition operations falls within the framework of the war of occupation open to the Palestinian presence, especially in occupied Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley, and its implementation of annexation plans at the expense of the land of the State of Palestine, thus closing the door permanently to any opportunity to establish an independent and continuous Palestinian state. Geographically and sovereign.
The Foreign Ministry indicated that the United Nations statistics clearly indicate that the demolitions have escalated significantly in the recent period, as the occupation authorities have demolished and seized 52 homes recently, as well as demolished and seized 689 buildings since the beginning of this year, which led to the displacement of 869 Palestinians and left them homeless.
The Foreign Ministry called on the international community not to deal with demolition and bulldozing operations as statistics and to summarize them in numbers because they conceal the great suffering and historical injustice that befalls the Palestinian people, stressing that the failure to hold the occupation officials accountable for their crimes encourages them to persevere in the demolition and confiscation of Palestinian homes and establishments and forcibly displacing Palestinians from their homeland .
