A UN panel had addressed the "Israeli" enemy and called on it to stop the destruction of the Palestinian homes and facilities in the occupied West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem).

In this context, Raquel Rolnik, Catarina de Albuquerque, and Oliver De Schutter, the UN's special rapporteurs on the rights of housing, food, and drinking water respectively stated in a statement Tuesday, "These actions by the "Israeli" authorities violate human rights and humanitarian law and must end immediately".
According to Agence France Presse, the statement further read, "The impact and discriminatory nature of these demolitions and evictions is completely unacceptable".

Furthermore, the UN panel also indicated that in some places, the "Israeli" forces and settlers burn Palestinian villagers' property, agricultural fields and trees almost on a weekly basis.
The UN experts further affirmed that since January 2011, the "Israelis" have destroyed more than 387 Palestinian structures, including 140 residential buildings and 79 structures for agriculture. The aforementioned actions led to the displacement of 755 people and impacted the lives of some 1,500 Palestinian civilians.

Moreover, the UN panel demanded the "Israeli" authorities to halt these destructions of Palestinian properties, because these actions are deteriorating the livelihood situation of this population.
