“Israeli” occupation to evacuate 25 Palestinian apartments in north of Al Quds

Eviction decisions issued against Palestinian homes did not spare any area of Al quds (Jerusalem) and that the "Israeli" government and settlers are waging a war on the Palestinian presence in the city.

Palestinian sources reported that the "Israeli" occupation handed last night court orders to evacuate 25 Palestinian apartments in Samiramis area behind the segregation wall in the north of occupied Al Quds (Jerusalem).

Hatem Abdelqader, the Palestinian Authority's resigned minister of Al Quds (Jerusalem) affairs -who seems to be still functioning in the position- , said that a large number of "Israeli" troops and policemen along with an extremist Jewish figure known as Aryeh King stormed at night the neighborhood and handed the residents evacuation orders.
Abdelqader noted that these apartments accommodate more than 200 individuals most of them are children and women.

He said that according to the documents that the residents of these apartments received, the "Israeli" settlers claim ownership of 33 dunums of the Palestinian lands, which are divided into two halves by the apartheid wall in the northwest of Al Quds (Jerusalem), including the lands which these apartments were built on .

The PA official added that the apartment buildings threatened with evacuation were built in 2003 and the Palestinian residents bought the lands officially from their previous Palestinian owners and have documents proving their ownership of these lands.
