Israel has demolished 5,000 Palestinian homes in Jerusalem since the occupation of the city in 1967.
According to a report by the Land Research Center, the number of buildings destroyed between 2000 and 2017 rose to 1,700.
Al-Quds International Foundation said that Israel demolishes Palestinian homes in Occupied Jerusalem under the pretext that they are unlicensed.
Al-Quds Foundation said in a research paper released on Saturday that the Israeli gangs in 1948 committed massacres against the Palestinians, stole their lands, and occupied Sinai and Golan Heights in violation of international law.
Israel, the paper noted, between 1967 and 2017 established about 14 settlements and hundreds of random outposts in East Jerusalem. Nearly 220,000 Israeli settlers are living in these settlements.
It added that Israel pursued a forced displacement policy against the Palestinians and seized over 26% of the total area of East Jerusalem to build new settlements or expand existing ones.
Not only the settlement construction but Israel has also adopted other policies with the aim of wiping out the Palestinian presence in Jerusalem, like the apartheid wall, unlawful killing of Palestinians, arbitrary arrests, and control of the education sector.

The Israeli authorities on Wednesday morning demolished all the homes of the Palestinian Bedouin village of Araqib in the Negev desert for the 144th consecutive time at the pretext that the structures were unlicensed.
Local sources said that Israeli bulldozers escorted by police forces stormed the village and embarked on removing all crude homes and tents.
Dozens of Bedouin citizens, including children, have become homeless and will suffer from the harsh weather of the desert for a while before they could have new makeshift homes again.
Araqib residents live in a constant state of fear because they expect the demolition of their village at any moment after they manage to rebuild their homes again.
However, such Israeli arbitrary, criminal and inhumane policy of demolition, uprooting and displacement will only increase the residents’ resolve and adherence to their land and village even if Israel demolishes it thousands of times.
Al-Araqib is one of several Bedouin villages in the Negev desert, which are "unrecognized" by Israel.
The demolition of al-Araqib and other villages in the Negev is a systematic Israeli policy aimed at expelling the native population from the Negev and transferring them to government-zoned areas to pave the way to expand and build settlements for Jewish communities.

The Israeli authorities have approved the paving of two new roads to link with illegal isolated colonies, built on private Palestinian lands in the southern and northern parts of the occupied West Bank.
Israeli daily Haaretz said the approval was for two major road in the occupied West Bank, and added that it sets the ground for the annexation of large areas of Palestinian lands.
It stated that the “Civil Administration Office” has issued permits for paving the roads to the isolated colonies, and that the work is scheduled to begin this July.
Israeli Peace Now Movement said the “Subcommittee on Roadways of the Israeli Civil Administration Higher Planning Committee has approved on May 1st, construction permits for the paving of two bypass roads: the Huwwara Bypass Road south of Nablus and the Al-Aroub Bypass Road, south of Bethlehem.”
Palestinian official Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors Israel’s illegal colonialist activities in northern West Bank, said the Israeli side has officially informed the Palestinians of its decision to annex 406 Dunams in three villages near Nablus, to pave the bypass road.
Nasser al-Huwwari, the mayor of Huwwara town, near Nablus, told the Maan News Agency that %98 of the Palestinian lands are owned by Huwwara residents.
He added that the road would go through an-Najma area, to pass near the Palestinian Luna Park Recreation Center and Swimming Pools, and includes several bridges and junctions.
Al-Huwwari stated the Palestinians were given 60 days to file appeals with Israeli courts, and that the Israeli government is also planning more colonialist constructions that would be possible after the road is paved, and infrastructure is set.
Peace Now also said, “In early April, the defense minister (at that time Prime Minister Netanyahu), approved to begin the construction of the two bypass roads, and immediately afterwards, the head of the Civil Administration issued orders to confiscate hundreds of dunams of private Palestinian land for paving the roads.”
Huwwara Bypass – For the purpose of the road, an expropriation order was issued for 406 dunams of private Palestinian land from the villages of Burin, Huwwara, Beita, Awarta, Yasouf, Yitma and as-Sawiya.
The road is expected to serve only four settlements: Yitzhar, Itamar, Har Bracha and Alon Moreh, where just 7,132 settlers live. According to reports, the cost of the road, which is 5.5 kilometers long, is estimated at a quarter of a billion shekels ($69 million), or about NIS 35,000 per settler ($9, 750).
Al-Arroub Bypass – To build the road, an expropriation order was issued for 401 dunams [pdf] of lands from Beit Ummar and Halhoul for a road of about 7 kilometers, south of Bethlehem (Read more on Al-Aroub Bypass road).
Peace Now stated that the work on the newly approved roads can start 60 after the annexation orders of the Palestinian lands are issued, on June 4th, and added that if landowners file petitions against the expropriation of their lands, the work could be delayed until a final ruling is made.
Peace Now: “These expropriations are part of the government’s continued capitulation to the settlers to build Israeli-oriented bypass roads throughout the West Bank. The settlers know very well that without good roads, the settlements will not be able to develop, and tactically demand that they be built “for security reasons.” This stated rationale masks the real goal behind these roads: to expand the settlements and to advance plans for annexing the West Bank at the cost of a two-state solution.”
