Israeli Authorities to Seize Land near Bethlehem

Picture
Israeli occupation authorities issued a military order to take over tens of dunums of land that belong to Palestinian people of the village of Nahhalin, near Bethlehem, for the benefit of building 70 new housing units for Jewish settlers, a local official told Palestinian official news agency WAFA.

Deputy Head of the village's council Jamal Najajreh said that the land are filled with olive trees, and are estimated by tens of dunums (1 dumun = 100 square meters), located to the west of the village, close to the illegal Jewish settlement of Bitar Ellit.

He added that this plan of building 70 housing units along with public buildings, as announced by the Israeli authorities, "aims to link the nearby illegal settlements Bitar Ellit and Jv'ot to each other, which will tighten the closure on the village and deprive a number of the village's families of their sources of living."

Njajreh called on all institutions and humanitarian organizations in the world to intervene immediately to stop this "arbitrary decision, for it will cast a negative result on the village, and will make living in it more like living in a large prison surrounded by settlements."

 According to them, the IOA annexed more Palestinian lands to build new housing units to the south of the settlement.

The western entrance of the settlement is also being expanded beyond its current borders, which means that more Palestinian lands have already been seized, the eyewitnesses added.

The IOA had sanctioned lately the construction of thousands of settlement housing units in the West Bank.

One day before US President Barack Obama's visit to the occupied territories, Israel's new housing and construction minister Uri Ariel also stated that his government would continue expanding settlements in the Palestinian lands.

IOA orders demolition of Palestinian residential building in Beit Jala

Picture
The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) issued on Wednesday a demolition order against a Palestinian residential building in Beit Jala town in Bethlehem at the pretext of its location in area C and its construction without license. The owner Simon Al-Aaraj had started the construction of his building in 2000 after he received verbal approval from the IOA's civil administration in Beit Eil city allowing him to build in a piece of land located within the zoning plan of Beit Jala and accordingly he obtained a construction permit from the municipal council of Beit Jala.

As the second intifada broke out at the end of 2000, he stopped the construction, and in 2012 he managed to renew the license papers in order to build more stories.

Aaraj's building is located opposite Israel's segregation wall in Beit Jala.

According to the second Oslo agreement that were signed between the Palestinian authority (PA) and the Israeli regime in September 1995, Area C, including Beit Jala, is subject to Israel's control and the Palestinians should apply for construction permits with its civil administration.
 
The applied research institute Jerusalem (ARIJ) said that Israel has escalated its violations against the Palestinians and their property as the expected visit of US president Barack Obama is drawing near in an attempt to impose more fait accompli on the ground.

"The Palestinian citizens living in the areas classified as C suffer from the Israeli civil administration's refusal to give them construction permits in order to keep up with the [natural] population growth in these areas, and they remain facing the threat of demolitions at the pretext of unlicensed building," ARIJ stated.

Bt’selem: Their home is no a firing zone! A testimony

Picture
Halimah Abu ‘Aram churning butter in a tent

Some 1000 South Hebron Hills residents to be expelled. Testimony of Halimah Abu ‘Aram, Khirbet al-Majaz

I am married to Mahmoud Musa Nu’man Abu ‘Aram, 45, and we have four sons and daughters. One of my sons is married and has a son of his own. He lives near me. I was born in Khirbet al-Majaz and have lived here my whole life.

My father and grandfathers lived here too. We live near our land and our sheep, which have always been the source of our livelihood. My husband owns 50 dunams [5 hectares] of land and grows wheat and barley. In addition, we have a flock of about 100 head of sheep.

We rely on the winter and its rains. In years with less rainfall, we suffer more because of water shortages and having less pastureland, which affects our animals. When there’s less rain, we must buy water during the summer months. That costs money. In addition, we have no electricity. Some families were given small solar panels that supply electricity, but only enough for providing light for a few hours, not like the villages that got large solar devices.

Al-Majaz is one of the larger villages in the greater Yatta area. It’s in an area that the Israelis say is an active firing zone. About 40 families live in the village, and there’s no easy access to it. The military won’t allow us to pave a road to the village, and when we try to, they close the road, claiming that it is used by workers trying to infiltrate Israel. The military considers the area a closed zone.

The military won’t let us construct permanent housing of cement, so we are forced to live in shelters and tents that don’t protect us from the winter cold, wind and rain. Last week, the strong winds damaged our tents.

We have no school in the village because the military won’t let us build one. So our children have to walk to the school in al-Fakhit, which is about 10 kilometers away. They walk there and back in the cold and in the heat. We have no medical clinic. Once every two weeks, volunteer doctors come to al-Fakhit. Women, myself included, have to get there by foot. If someone is seriously ill, we have to take them by donkey or tractor over a grueling route. In the past, we used camels.

Women usually give birth at home, and don’t get to the hospital. I had all my children here in the tent without help from either a midwife or a doctor. Experience and our hard life here have taught us to manage on our own.

In 1999, the Israeli military decided to evacuate our and other nearby villages. Military trucks took our bedding from the village to the al-Barakeh area, in Yatta. For 20 days we came to the village at night and hid during the daytime.

Since the court made its decision, we’ve been living in relative stability. The military no longer harasses us and hasn’t destroyed any of our structures. But this sense of stability wouldn’t last for long. We heard that the Israeli military plans to evacuate the entire area, including our village, on the pretext that it is a military firing and training zone. This news frightened me. I can’t imagine what will become of us if the military carries out that decision. Where will we go? Where will our children go? They were born and raised here. Where will our grandson go? They have nowhere else to go. Where will my sheep go? What will happen to my land, which is our only source of livelihood? I’d rather die than find myself somewhere else. I hope that the court will help us this time too, and decide to keep us here in our own place.

We have the right to live on the land of our fathers and grandfathers. We have the right to live with dignity like everybody else, with minimal means of sustenance. We have the right to clean water and electricity. We have the right to a road that’ll make it easier for us to leave and return to the village, and to get to the hospital. Our children have the right to a school and social organizations. They have the right to a childhood like all other children. Our children are deprived and disadvantaged, and cannot choose another life for themselves.

Halimah Mahmoud ‘Issa Abu ‘Aram, 41, married and mother of 4, is a resident of Khirbet al-Majaz in the South Hebron Hills. Her Testimony was taken by Musa Abu Hashhash in the witness’s home, on 14 January 2013.

Israel razes Araqib village for the 48th time

Picture
Israeli bulldozers razed the homes and tents of Araqib village inhabitants in the Negev, occupied in 1948, on Wednesday for the 48th time.

The Islamic movement in the Negev said in a statement that such acts by the Israeli authorities would not deter the Negev inhabitants from persisting in demanding their right to live in their land and to defend it with all means possible.

It called on land owners to unite and to remain steadfast regardless of the Israeli authorities’ plans of forcing them to abandon their land under the false slogan of solving the Bedouins’ problems in the Negev.

Army Carries Out A Limited Invasion In Southern Gaza
