“Even if the occupation demolishes our homes, you will not leave,” Anan said.
Zionist Project
The spokesman for Al-Khan Al-Ahmar village, Eid Jahalin, confirmed that the Israeli occupation is striving to displace the villages and Bedouin communities surrounding the occupied city of Jerusalem.
Jahalin added that the aim of the occupation’s attempts to demolish villages and Bedouin communities is to isolate Jerusalem from other cities and cut off communication between the north and south of the West Bank.
He believed that these attempts are aimed at imposing a new reality on the region and besieging the occupied city of Jerusalem in favor of implementing the so-called “Greater Jerusalem” settlement project.
Jahalin stated that the residents of Palestinian villages and Bedouin communities suffer constantly due to violations and harassment of the occupation forces that works around the clock to harass dwellers of these villages in order to drive them out of their homes.
