EU asks Israel to reconsider Khan al-Ahmar demolition

Saturday 8-September-2018

European Union (EU) on Saturday called on Israeli occupation authorities to reconsider their decision to demolish Khan al-Ahmar village east of Occupied Jerusalem.

A statement issued by Federica Mogherini EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy said that the consequences of the demolition of the Bedouin community and the displacement of its residents would be very serious.

Mogherini added that the decision would “severely threaten the viability of the two-state solution” and “undermine prospects for peace”.

Israel’s Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that the temporary order freezing the demolition of Khan al-Ahmar will be invalid within seven days from that day.
