10/09/2018 (Agence Europe) – On 7 September, High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini again urged the Israeli authorities to reconsider their decision to demolish the Bedouin village of Khan al-Ahmar, after authorisation to proceed with the plans for the demolition was given the by the Israeli High Court on 5 September (see EUROPE 12065). "As repeatedly stressed, the consequences of a demolition of this community and the displacement of its residents, including children, against their will, would be very serious and would severely threaten the viability of the two-state solution and undermine prospects for peace", she said. Mogherini stated that the community of Khan al-Ahmar is located in a sensitive location in Area C, "of strategic importance for preserving the contiguity of a future Palestinian state". (CG)
