Netanyahu Ordered Demolition of 400 Palestinian Homes

Local Editor

"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had ordered the destruction of some 400 newly-built Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank.
 
According to "Israeli" media, the move came after the British newspaper Daily Mail in a report alleged that the European Union [EU] funded the construction of the residences.
The Zionist regime claimed that the EU should have asked for its permit for the construction of the homes.

However, a spokesman for the EU defended its funding for the homes for Palestinians.
Shadi Othman, a communications officer at the Office of the European Union Representative in the West Bank and Gaza Strip told the Daily Mail that the project "is part of the work done to build the future Palestinian state."

Othman continued, "Palestinians have a right to live there, build schools there, and have economic development".

Furthermore, the development came amid widespread global condemnation of "Israel's" land grab policies. Tel Aviv had approved a series of plans for new settler units in East al-Quds in recent months.

The EU often criticized the entity for building thousands of settlement units in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Upwards of half a million "Israelis" are occupying more than 120 settlements built since the Zionist occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank, including East al-Quds, in 1967.
