The ‘Israeli’ occupation authority (IOA) declared its intention to demolish hundreds of Palestinian homes and buildings in area ‘C’ under its control in the occupied West Bank and to retain illegal settlement outposts.

The ‘Israeli’ occupation authority (IOA) declared its intention to demolish hundreds of Palestinian homes and buildings in area ‘C’ under its control in the occupied West Bank and to retain illegal settlement outposts.

Daily Haaretz newspaper said the ‘Israeli’ prosecution bureau pledged to respond to petitions filed by Palestinian residents with the ‘Israeli’ higher court against demolition of their property by razing hundreds of buildings and structures including schools, without delay.

The IOA  prevents the Palestinian natives from building or getting licenses to build in area C, so they find themselves forced to set up even temporary structures and tents, for they know the Zionist entity will not let them live peacefully in their lands without harassment and demolitions.

Should the IOA and its prosecution bureau fulfilled their pledge to respond to Palestinian petitions, thousands of Palestinians would be homeless and 32 schools would be knocked down depriving about 1,000 Palestinian children from education.

For its part, the Zionist ministerial committee for legislation discussed in its meeting on Sunday a draft law aimed at preventing the evacuation of random illegal settlement outposts built by Jewish settlers without permits in the West Bank.

Haaretz reported that leaders of those settlement outposts and right-wing Knesset members pressured the ministerial committee to approve and support the draft law.
