Tuesday 23-July-2019

The Palestinian Authority (PA) presidency said it would hold a series of important meetings in the coming days in response to Israel’s mass demolitions in Sur Baher town east of Occupied Jerusalem.

Spokesman for the presidency Nabil Abu Rudeina told the official news agency that the PA leadership would take during these meetings decisive decisions on the relations with Israel and the agreements signed with it.

In this regard Saeb Erekat secretary of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s Executive Committee told a news conference following an emergency meeting at the PLO headquarters in Ramallah on Monday that the Palestinian leadership decided to put in place mechanisms to cancel all treaties with the Israeli occupation state.

“The government has decided at the behest of president Mahmoud Abbas to take all the necessary procedures to help the affected families in Jerusalem through providing them with housing and full compensation” Erekat said.

The PLO official called on the International Criminal Court to launch an immediate investigation into Israel’s crimes against the Palestinians.

The Israeli occupation authority started at dawn Monday to carry out widespread demolitions of homes in Wadi Hummus neighborhood of Sur Baher town.
