Israel revokes residency of 4 Palestinian attackers

Israeli security forces removed the settlers on Friday morning, with Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon calling them “intruders” who “trampled the law” for not taking the necessary legal measures required to move into the houses.

“The number of Palestinians supporting them now is very marginal”, he said.

Israel’s Defense Ministry has confirmed that the country is on the verge of seizing large swathes of fertile land in the occupied West Bank, a move that will likely exacerbate its already cooling relationship with Western allies, Reuters reports.

In a move that could lead to construction of more Jewish settlements, Israel plans to annex 370 acres of agricultural land in the occupied West Bank near the city of Jericho.

The proximity of the apartments of the Cave of the Patriarchs, also known as al-Ibrahimi Mosque, adds to the tension, as the site is religiously important to both Muslims and Jews.

In his speech on Monday, Shapiro said, “Too many attacks on Palestinians lack a vigorous investigation or response by Israeli authorities; too much vigilantism goes unchecked; and at times there seem to be two standards of adherence to the rule of law: one for Israelis and another for Palestinians”.

During the occupation of the two houses the settlers started throwing stones at the Palestinians in the area around the two houses, and broke multiple doors and windows of surrounding houses.

What the European Union has done is move to ban goods made in the Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria and the Golan Heights from its markets by labeling them as non-Israeli products.

Earlier yesterday, Israel said it revoked the residency rights of four Palestinians living in Jerusalem and said to have carried out deadly attacks against Israelis. The rest were killed in clashes with troops.

The Palestinians say that by contributing to the settlement economy, Airbnb, like other companies doing business in the West Bank, helps perpetuate Israel’s settlement enterprise.

An Israeli military court indicted five Palestinians from the area of Tulkarem, in the West Bank, who were planning a shooting attack against Israeli forces with Hezbollah backing.

Israel’s 34th government under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu relies on a narrow coalition of 61 lawmakers at the Knesset, with 59 lawmakers in the opposition. Any future separation of the Palestinian population will ultimately be brought about through the implementation of well-known strategies, such as forced displacement, home demolitions and settlement expansion, as well as the worldwide community’s approval of the slow extermination policies and ethnic cleansing favoured by Israel as a way to maintain the levels of violence required by its abhorrent colonial project. In one attack, an Israeli was killed after Palestinians threw rocks at his auto.
