From Al Jazeera:
Israeli authorities have demolished at least seven homes in different Palestinian neighborhoods of East Jerusalem.
The homes are the first to be torn down since October 2009 and have provoked strong criticism from the Palestinians who say it proves Israel is not committed to peace.
Al Jazeera’s Sherine Tadros reports.
A new Israeli military policy could result in the eviction of tens of thousands of Palestinians from the occupied West Bank. They even risk being jailed.
Amendments to the existing 1969 order on preventing infiltration could apply to Palestinians living in the West Bank without official ID cards issued by Israel.
The Israeli army says the order was designed to “facilitate a process of judicial review of the extradition of illegal residents in the region”.
But Palestinian and Israeli human rights organisations have condemned the order.
