The adviser in the Palestinian President Office, lawyer Ahmed Al-Ruwaidi, said that the Israeli occupation has moved from demolishing houses to demolishing entire neighbourhoods in the city of Jerusalem, while forcibly displacing the city’s residents and replacing them with Israeli settlers. Al-Ruwaidi explained that Israel is now taking critical measures, as seven Jerusalemite families will be forced to evacuate their homes in Sheikh Jarrah next month. Another seven families are also expected to be forced out of their homes in the Al-Bustan and Batn Al-Hawa neighbourhoods.The advisor further pointed out that this policy aims to turn Jerusalemites into a minority in a largely Jewish neighbourhood. Al-Ruwaidi said that he had contacted various international bodies, including representatives of the European Union, the United Nations and representatives of diplomatic missions to the State of Palestine, stressing the need to prevent forced displacement in the occupied Palestinian territories.
