Israel plans to displace 200,000 Palestinians from Occupied Jerusalem

The Israeli authorities continue to target the Palestinian presence in Occupied Jerusalem, through demolition and displacement policies.

The director of the Jerusalem Center for Social and Economic Rights, Ziad Al-Hamouri, said that Jerusalem is subjected to massive Judaization plans.

Hamouri noted that the Israeli government intends to relocate 300,000 settlers to Occupied Jerusalem, bringing the total number of Jewish settlers in the occupied city to 500,000.

Additionally, he expressed concern about Israeli plans to expel over 200,000 Palestinians from Occupied Jerusalem.

He clarified that the Israeli government does not want the proportion of Palestinians in Jerusalem to rise above 12% of the entire population.

Hamouri also emphasized how the Israeli settlement building boom has significantly reduced the geographic proximity of the Palestinian towns in Jerusalem.

Israeli authorities have authorized the construction of 10,000 housing units and 20 settlements in Occupied Jerusalem.

Meanwhile, he sternly warned that more than 20,000 demolition orders might be carried out at any time.
