The European Union is demanding that Israel stop demolishing Palestinian homes in Area C of the occupied West Bank and particularly in the Bedouin village of Khan al-Ahmar near the Maaleh Adumim illegal settlement outpost.
The EU said the demolition policy results in the forced transfer of the residents and is a violation of the Geneva Convention.
Israeli diplomats said such sharp protests by the EU were forwarded to the Israeli foreign ministry by the EU ambassador to Israel.
The letter leveled heavy criticism at Israel referring to it as an occupying power.
