OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Jerusalem Governorate said that the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) escalated its demolition and bulldozing operations in the holy city as part of a Judaization campaign aimed at emptying the city’s neighborhoods of their residents.
In a statement, the Jerusalem Governorate pointed out that the IOF demolished on Tuesday several Palestinian homes, displaced their residents, bulldozed walls and roads, and uprooted trees in al-Bustan neighborhood in Silwan district, south of the Aqsa Mosque.
The Governorate warned that Israel’s demolition and Judaization campaigns in Jerusalem are aimed at imposing a new fait accompli in the city that threatens the existence and stability of the native residents.
The Governorate accused the Israeli occupation regime of exploiting the international preoccupation with the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip to carry out its Judaization schemes in Jerusalem and around the Aqsa Mosque.
The Governorate appealed to the international community and its human rights organizations to take urgent action to stop Israel’s crimes against the Jerusalemite people and protect their historical and humanitarian rights.
According to the Governorate, the Israeli occupation authority has demolished about 360 Palestinian homes and structures since October 7, 2023 in Jerusalem.
