A picture from the Palestinian village of Beit Sahur in the occupied West Bank shows Palestinian buildings, which have been issued demolition notices, in the Sur Baher neighborhood of East Jerusalem al-Quds on July 11, 2019
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has called upon the International Criminal Court (ICC) to launch an investigation into the Israeli regime’s plans for mass demolitions in a neighborhood on the southeastern outskirts of the occupied East Jerusalem al-Quds.
The ministry, in a statement released on Sunday, said The Hague-based tribunal should launch an official investigation into the “house demolition crimes.”
The statement also condemned the ruling of the Supreme Court of Israel against an appeal submitted by the Palestinian residents of Sur Baher, who are facing demolition of their homes and subsequent displacement.
The Israeli high court's decision “proves that the Israeli judiciary is part of the Israeli colonial mindset and has nothing to do with law, but provides cover and protection to the occupier's crimes and violations,” the ministry pointed out.
Also on Sunday, Jamie McGoldrick, Humanitarian Coordinator of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), Gwyn Lewis, Director of West Bank Operations for UNRWA, and James Heenan, Head of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in the occupied Palestinian territory, urged Israeli authorities to halt plans for the demolition of several homes in Sur Baher.
“Seventeen Palestinians, including nine Palestine refugees, face the risk of displacement, and over 350 others risk massive property loss, due to the Israeli authorities’ intention to demolish 10 buildings, including around 70 apartments, due to their proximity to the West Bank barrier,” the officials said in a joint statement.
Demolitions and forced evictions, the UN officials said, are “some of the multiple pressures generating a risk of forcible transfer for many Palestinians in the West Bank. Residents of East Jerusalem (al-Quds) and adjacent areas have been particularly affected, with a significant rise in demolitions there in 2019.”
The statement added, “For many refugees in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem (al-Quds), displacement is both a living memory and an imminent risk. Displacement, particularly for the most vulnerable, is traumatic and has lasting consequences.”
“We join others in the international community in calling on Israel to halt plans to demolish these and other structures and to implement fair planning policies that allow Palestinian residents of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem (al-Quds), the ability to meet their housing and development needs, in line with its obligations as an occupying power,” it highlighted.

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed on Sunday morning Wadi Hummus neighborhood in Sur Baher town, east of Jerusalem, and laid siege to it as a prelude to demolishing dozens of Palestinian apartments.
Head of the Wadi al-Hummus Committee Hamada Hamada said that a large number of Israeli army and police forces stormed and cordoned off the neighborhood after the Israeli municipality recently took measurements of the apartment buildings to be razed.
According to the Israeli occupation authority (IOA), the apartment buildings are located near the separation wall and pose a security threat to the settlers living in the area.
Last Thursday, staff from the Israeli municipality and police forces stormed Wadi al-Hummus neighborhood in Sur Baher town and took measurements of apartment buildings slated for demolitions.
Hamada said at the time that they took measurements of 16 buildings composed of 100 apartments in the presence of Israeli contractors.
Hamada added that such step came after the period given by IOA to the owners to demolish their apartments on their own expired on July 18, 2019, so the Israeli municipality would carry out the demolitions and make the owners pay the expenses.
The Israeli high court of justice recently rejected an appeal filed by local residents against an Israeli decision ordering the demolition of 16 apartment buildings containing 100 housing units in Sur Baher town.
This court ruling sets a precedent that will enable the IOA to demolish thousands of buildings and homes in the West Bank.
The Wadi Hummus neighborhood is located on the edge of Sur Baher, in southeast Jerusalem. Unlike the rest of the town, this neighborhood lies beyond the city’s municipal boundaries in the West Bank. Most of the area it occupies is designated as part of Area A, which is under the control of the Palestinian Authority.
But after local residents submitted a petition while the separation fence was being built, beginning in 2003, the location of the wall was moved so that it would not pass through the heart of Sur Baher. Thus Wadi Hummus ended up on the Israeli side of the barrier, although legally it is considered to be part of the West Bank and under the PA’s control.
Wadi Hummus is the only area that remains for future expansion of the town, which is surrounded by the fence and Jewish settlements. Many buildings were erected in the neighborhood over the last decade or so, most occupied by young couples and families from the town. The buildings set for demolitions have some 100 apartments, 20 of which are tenanted and the rest are under construction.
Building permits for those buildings were issued by the PA's planning ministry. However, seven years ago, the Israel army’s central command issued an injunction banning construction of buildings within 250 meters of the separation barrier.
Locals say the order was not publicized and they had no knowledge of it, and that in any case, it is the PA that has planning authorization in the area.

Israeli forces today demolished shacks and seized tents in the area of al-Hadidya in the northern Jordan Valley region, occupied West Bank, according to sources.
Motaz Bisharat, the Palestinian Authority's official in charge of monitoring Israeli settlement activities in the Jordan Valley, told WAFA that Israeli forces demolished shacks belonging to local resident Najeh Kaabneh, and seized tents belonging to other two families in the area.
Israel refuses to virtually permit any Palestinian construction in the Jordan Valley, which is considered Area C that makes up more than 60 percent of the occupied West Bank and falls under full Israeli military rule, forcing residents to build without a permit to provide shelters for their families.

We are following very closely developments in the Sur Bahir area of the Jerusalem governorate.
Seventeen Palestinians, including nine Palestine refugees, face the risk of displacement, and over 350 others risk massive property loss, due to the Israeli authorities’ intention to demolish 10 buildings, including around 70 apartments, due to their proximity to the West Bank Barrier. video
One month ago, following the exhaustion of almost all domestic legal remedies, Israeli forces sent the residents, a “Notice of Intent to Demolish” which will expire tomorrow, 18 July.
Demolitions and forced evictions are some of the multiple pressures generating a risk of forcible transfer for many Palestinians in the West Bank. Residents of East Jerusalem and adjacent areas have been particularly affected, with a significant rise in demolitions there in 2019.
Amongst the seventeen Palestinians now at risk of displacement, nine of them are Palestine refugees, including an elderly couple and five children. For many refugees in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, displacement is both a living memory and an imminent risk. Displacement, particularly for the most vulnerable, is traumatic and has lasting consequences. video
We join others in the international community in calling on Israel to halt plans to demolish these and other structures and to implement fair planning policies that allow Palestinian residents of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, the ability to meet their housing and development needs, in line with its obligations as an occupying power.
