The special envoy of the UN Secretary-General for the Middle East Tor Wennesland called on Israel to stop demolitions and evictions in occupied Palestine.
For her part the UN Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator for the Occupied Palestinian Territory Lynne Hastings said in a separate press statement on Saturday that Israel’s rejection of the petition against its (demolition) decision poses the risk of forcible expulsion which violates the UN Security Council resolutions and international law.
”The exhaustion of all local legal remedies warns that the Palestinian community would be at risk of imminent displacement” Hastings affirmed.
Hastings also called on the UN Secretary-General António Guterres to assume his responsibility and pressure Israel to stop demolitions and evictions in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
