Issa warns: Israel Judaizes Al-Quds through mass deportation laws The Palestinian Information Center 15 Jan 2017

Hanna Issa, the Secretary General of the Muslim-Christian Committee to Support Occupied Al-Quds and Holy Sites, warned on Sunday of a draft law submitted by the Chairman of the Knesset’s House Committee, MK David Bitton, and the Israeli minister of transportation, Yisrael Katz, which proposes the expulsion of the families of the Palestinians who carry out attacks against the Israelis to the West Bank and abroad.

Issa considered the Israeli draft law a blatant challenge to the international humanitarian law and a violation of the Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention which prohibits the forcible individual or mass expulsion of protected persons from the occupied territory to other occupied territory in the country or to other countries.

The professor of international law said in a press statement on Sunday that the Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) seek to expel the Palestinians from their homes in Al-Quds and resettle a large number of Israeli settlers in the city in a flagrant violation of the international laws and norms.

The legal specialist pointed to the Oslo agreement of 1995 which stated that “the West Bank, including East Al-Quds, and the Gaza Strip are one geographical unit,” which means that the provisions of the international humanitarian law apply to them.

He noted that the UN Security Council con-

demned in the first paragraph of the resolution No. 799 of 1992 the measure taken by Israel of deporting hundreds of Palestinian civilians to Marj al-Zohour to southern Lebanon, and expressed its complete opposition to any such deportation by Israel.

He added that the Security Council reaffirmed in the second paragraph of the resolution the applicability of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 to all occupied Palestinian territories including Al-Quds, and that the deportation of the civilians is considered a violation of Israel’s commitments toward the convention.

Issa affirmed that the proposed draft law comes in consistency with the military order No. 1650 which calls for the expulsion of Palestinians under the pretext that they are infiltrators not citizens. He continued that approving this draft law means that Israel disavows the agreements signed with the Palestine Liberation Organization from one side and seeks to Judaize occupied Al-Quds and expel its indigenous people from another.

The draft law, once ratified by the Knesset, will lead to the expulsion of the families of those who carry out attacks. If they are from Jerusalem or have blue IDs, they will be expelled to the West Bank or abroad, and if they are from the West Bank, they will be expelled abroad under the justification that this will act as a deterrent to those who intend to conduct attacks.

Kabinet Zionis ambil langkah punitif susulan serangan langgar

Haluanpalestin 09 Jan 2017 Kabinet keselamatan Zionis semalam meluluskan langkah punitif ke atas penduduk Palestin sebagai tindak balas ke atas serangan rempuhan lori di alQuds.

Arahan serta-merta dikeluarkan supaya pihak keselamatan menahan dan menyiasat sesiapa sahaja yang memuji atau meraikan serangan tersebut. Pihak keselamata juga dibenarkan menahan mereka yang menyokong ISIS di bawah tanahan pentadbiran tanpa sebarang pengadilan, kononnya kerana Fadi al-Qanbar sendiri menyokong ISIS.

Pihak rejim akan mengepung seluruh kawasan kejiranan Jabal al-Mukabber, meroboh rumah keluarga Fadi al-Qanbar secepat mungkin, dan tidak menyerahkan jenazah kepada keluarga beliau.

Semalam, tentera Zionis menutup semua laluan ke Jabal al-Mukabber dan menahan sembilan penduduk Palestin termasuk lima ahli keluarga al-Qanbar bersama kedua ibubapa Fadi, Ahmad dan Munawah, isteri dan 12 orang saudara perempuan beliau.

Article baru yang dramatik berbeza dari yang asal.

Pembinaan itu sebenarnya telah pun diluluskan sejak bulan Julai lalu, ketika mana jawatankuasa daerah bagi perancangan dan pembinaan bersetuju untuk bekerjasama dengan majlis perbandaran Israel bagi meletakkan polisi baru untuk pembinaan rel kereta api aliran ringan dan bangunan- bangunan berketinggian 18- 30 tingkat.

Sehingga kini, satu laluan kereta api aliran ringan sudah wujud , dan beberapa tahun akan datang 4 lagi laluan akan dibuka dan beberapa stesen lain akan ditambah dengan bangunan- bangunan tinggi di sepanjang laluan kereta api.

Terdapat 3 kawasan lain yang akan didirikan menara tinggi dan ditambah stesen kereta apinya. Yang terbesar diantaranya adalah di Bandar Jurusalem bahagian barat dan menara ini akan membawa nama “Pintu Masuk Jurusalem”. Batu asas pembinaan projek ini telah pun diletakkan sebulan setengah yang lalu, dan ia termasuk pembinaan 9 menara 36 tingkat. Manaka-

Ini kerana, pembinaan ini akan menyebabkan kesesakan dan lebihan penduduk yang sangat teruk, kerana 71 unit penempatan akan dibina di atas satu ekar tanah. Ia merupakan kesesakan yang tidak pernah berlaku di mana- mana kawasan penempatan Yahudi sebelum ini. Unit- unit penempatan di kawasan ini akan dijadikan projek perumah-

Menurut akhbar Hareetz, majlis perbandaran Israel enggan memberikan kebenaran kepada jurutera perancangnya ” Shlomo Ashkul” dan jurutera perancangan Bandar “Aufar Manar”, dalam wawancara mereka bersama Hareetz.

Dikatakan bahawa orangorang penting dalam Majlis Perbandaran Israel juga sedang dalam usaha mengeluarkan puluhan perancanganperancangan pengyahudian yang berada dalam simpanan mereka untuk dilaksanakan, selepas dari kemenangan Donald Trump dalam pilihan raya Amerika Syarikat. Ini kerana selama ini mereka terhalang dari melakukannya kerana bimbang akan respon Kerajaan Amerika yang dipimpin oleh Barack Obama yang bimbang pelaksanaan- pelaksanaan pengyahudian di Jurusalem dan Tebing Barat ini member kesan buruk kepada penyelesaian masalah kedua- dua Negara (Palestin dan Israel).
