The US Congresswoman Marie Newman described the Israeli policy of forcibly expulsing Palestinians from their homes in Silwan Neighborhood, al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) as "despicable."
Furthermore, she added that the Israeli government is trampling on Palestinian rights and international law in eastern al-Quds.
She also urged US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to state unequivocally that the demolitions must end instantly.
It is worth mentioning that the Israeli occupation previously forced 8 Jerusalemite families to demolish their own homes or have the occupation demolish them. Then these families were billed for the cost, which amounted to almost $61,000.
Despicable. Palestinian families are being ripped from their homes in the neighborhood of Silwan.

The Israeli government is trampling on Palestinian rights and international law in East Jerusalem. @SecBlinken needs to make clear that these demolitions must end NOW.
