EU condemns demolitions and announcement of new settlements

On Thursday 20 January, the spokesperson of the European External Action Service (EEAS) denounced the demolition by Israeli authorities of a Palestinian family home in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of occupied East Jerusalem the day before.

“The possibility of further evictions of Palestinian families from homes they have lived in for decades in the Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan neighbourhoods of East Jerusalem poses the risk of fuelling tensions on the ground”, he warned in a statement.
