The Palestinian Presidency warns of an Israeli decision that paves the way for the displacement of hundreds of people from the West Bank
Today, Friday, the Palestinian presidency accused Israel of perpetuating the apartheid regime against the Palestinians through measures of home demolitions, evictions and settlement expansion.
Friday, the Palestinian presidency warned of the danger of an Israeli judicial decision that paves the way for the deportation of hundreds of Palestinians from the Masafer Yatta area in the southern occupied West Bank.
In a statement, presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh warned of the danger of the Israeli Supreme Court's decision to allow the demolition of more than 12 Palestinian villages in Masafer Yatta in Hebron in the southern West Bank, and the displacement of more than four thousand Palestinians.
Abu Rudeineh said that "the Israeli decision, which affects thousands of Palestinian citizens, including 500 children, amounts to forced displacement and ethnic eviction."
Abu Rudeineh considered that "all of these Israeli measures of demolition, eviction and settlement fall within the framework of the apartheid regime, which the occupation applies to the Palestinians and their lands amid international silence."
He added that this "will have serious repercussions on the ground," holding the Israeli government "fully responsible for the consequences of such decisions."
Abu Rudeineh added: "The American administration must assume its responsibilities towards stopping this Israeli recklessness, which is pushing matters towards escalation and tense atmosphere."
And last Wednesday, an Israeli judicial decision was issued paving the way for the forcible deportation of hundreds of Palestinians from the Masafer Yatta area under the pretext of declaring it a "closed military zone."
And Thursday, the "Norwegian Refugee Council" reported that the Israeli Supreme Court rejected, on Wednesday, all petitions against the forcible deportation of about 1,200 Palestinians from Masafer Yatta, which Israel declared a closed military zone.
Thousands of Palestinians in the southern West Bank face the dangers of displacement from their lands, which the Israeli army says it uses as training areas.
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Israeli authorities have demolished or confiscated 217 Palestinian structures in the "firing zone" since 2011, displacing 608 Palestinians.
The Israeli authorities refer to the area in Masafer Yatta as "Firing Zone 918".
