Hundreds of Palestinians on Friday took to the streets in protest at Israel’s house demolition policy in Qalansuwa city in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1948.

Arab 48 said that many Palestinian notables and Arab members of the Knesset took part in the demonstration.

The demonstrators roamed the city towards Palestinian houses that have been recently threatened with demolition under the pretext of lacking Israeli building permits.

The demonstrators chanted slogans condemning the demolition policy and calling on all national forces to unite and take part in the protests to put an end to the Israeli policy.

Friday’s demonstration was part of a series of protest steps organized by national groups and youth movements in Qalansuwa in confrontation of the demolition campaign threatening dozens of Palestinian homes in the city.

Dozens of Palestinians on Saturday took part in a peaceful demonstration against Israel’s house demolition policy in Qalansuwa city in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1948.

The demonstrators asked the Israeli authorities to stop the demolition campaign targeting their homes under the pretext of being “unlicensed”.

They said that if the crime is not addressed soon 44 homes in Qalansuwa will be completely destroyed leaving hundreds of Palestinian families homeless.

Israel in 2017 demolished 11 Palestinian homes and buildings in Qalansuwa.

The Palestinians living in the territories occupied since 1948 who make up about 20% of the population there suffer from racial discrimination practiced against them by Israeli official and non-official authorities especially in the fields of housing and employment.
