Israeli authorities force Palestinian man to demolish his own Jerusalem home
Footage verified by Al Jazeera shows a Palestinian family demolishing their home in the al-Mukaber town in occupied East Jerusalem, after being forced by Israeli authorities.
The Governorate of Jerusalem said in a Facebook that “the occupation displaced four people” including owner Adham Aweisat after the demolition, which took place under the pretext of building without a permit.
Israel must prevent more settler violence against Palestinians: EU
Representatives of the European Union on Thursday visited the village of Umm al-Khair in the occupied West Bank, where Palestinian activist Awdah Hathaleen was killed by an Israeli settler.
The EU’s mission to Palestinians said he is still denied a “dignified burial” since his body is kept by Israeli authorities, and called on Israel to take “concrete steps” to prevent more settler violence against Palestinians.
According to Israeli media, a Jerusalem court earlier today released Yinon Levi, a sanctioned violent settler on grounds that the existing evidence does not back suspicion that he killed Hathaleen.
