Jerusalem Ownership Condemns Demolitions
The article reveals the escalation by Israeli occupation authorities of forced demolition operations in East Jerusalem, particularly in the Wadi Qudum neighborhood in Silwan town, where authorities compel Palestinians to demolish their own homes or impose hefty costs on them. Since 1967 up to early October 2026, approximately 3,917 homes have been demolished in Jerusalem as part of an attempt to alter the city's demographic and geographic reality. The Jordanian Royal Committee for Jerusalem affirms that these policies aim to tighten control over the Palestinian population and threaten their Arab, Islamic, and Christian identity. The committee views the protection of Jerusalem and Jordan’s historical responsibility as including supporting Palestinian rights and rejecting measures aimed at changing the city’s character. It called on the international community to act to halt demolition operations and to ensure the rights of the Palestinian residents, emphasizing that the steadfastness of the Jerusalemites is a defense of the city’s identity.
