Settler movements pressure government to implement its policy against illegal structures, claims the PA is behind the constructions to gain control in Area C.
TThe European Union on Monday called on Israel to halt the demolitions of Palestinian structures, as Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman delayed by two days the publication of his opinion on the pending demolition of the Arab village of Sussiya.
“The Israeli authorities must halt demolitions of Palestinian houses and property, in accordance with its obligations as an occupying power under international humanitarian law, and to cease the policy of settlement construction and expansion, of designating land for exclusive Israeli use and of denying Palestinian development,” the European Union said in a statement it issued to the media.
Among the pending demolition cases that has garnered intense media focus and international attention is the fate of Sussiya, which is composed of some 100 tents and modular structures.
