Zionist regime’s new cabinet vows to build more settlements by stealing the Palestinian people’s lands, continue Netanyahu’s land theft policy.

The Israeli forces demolished, seized or forced the demolition of 26 Palestinian-owned structures and injured at least 1,075 Palestinians across the West Bank during last 2 weeks of June, OCHA reports.

"The return of seven million Palestinian refugees to their towns and villages in Palestine is a legitimate right that we will never abandon or waive at any cost," Haniyeh said

The Norwegian Refugee Council stressed the need for the Zionist authorities to immediately stop forcibly displacing people and demolishing their homes and property.

The Palestinian ambassador to the UN pointed out that the Zionist regime’s occupation forces have demolished 72 buildings in just three months, which led to the displacement of 78 Palestinians, including 47 children and 15 women.

The deadline set by the Israeli occupation authorities ends for 13 Palestinian families who received orders to self-demolish their homes in the Al-Bustan quarter in the occupied Al-Quds neighbourhood of Silwan within 21 days.

Zionist troops delivered demolition orders against some 20 Palestinian houses in Rujeib town, east of the West Bank city of Nablus, according to local sources.

Fakhri Abu Diab, member of the Defense of Silwan Land Committee, warned that 17 homes belonging to Palestinian families in the al-Bustan neighborhood of Silwan, south of occupied Al-Quds, will be demolished by the end of next month by the Israeli authorities.

The Al-Bustan neighbourhood in Silwan, which is south of the Old City, has 119 families in 88 buildings that are under threat of demolishment to make way for an Israeli archaeological park.

A committee representing Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood in the occupied city of Al-Quds warned that the Israeli Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit's decision not to intervene in their case paves the way for their forcible displacement from their homes.
