The European Union demanded a halt to all demolitions carried out by Israel in the occupied Palestinian territories. “It is tragic that in 2021 Israel displaced 595 Palestinians, including 320 children in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, which represents a 50% increase compared to last year,” the European Union Mission in Jerusalem said on its official social media platforms. It added, “In the last demolition operation in Homsah (Northern Jordan Valley) on July 7, 42 people were displaced, including 24 children, and they are now in dire need of humanitarian assistance”. The Mission continued, “In the past two days, 3 Palestinian families in East Jerusalem, including Silwan, have been forced to self-demolish their homes. These activities are not only cruel, but also illegal under international law and must stop”. For further details, click here
