RAMALLAH, January 23, 2012 (WAFA) – Israel approved the building of 734 housing units in East Jerusalem settlements and seized 1367 dunums of land in and around the occupied city since the beginning of 2012, Monday said a statement by the PLO Department of International Relations.
It said settlement activities in East Jerusalem, in the wake of the Israeli government’s policy to Judaize and annex the city and make any political solution impossible, are considered “war crimes” and “state terrorism.”
The statement said the international community is overlooking Israeli practices and settlement escalation in Jerusalem, which emboldens the Israeli occupation and measures against Palestinian residents of the city.
It demanded from the international community to force Israel to abide by international law when dealing with the occupied territories.Palestine News & Info Agency - WAFA -
