Ben Gvir denied that there would be any delay and confirmed that “the evacuation of the building will take place sooner or later. There is an organized plan that I will not disclose.”
Ben Gvir stressed that the demolition and displacement will take place “if not tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow. If not this week, then it will happen in the next weeks.”
Local sources reported that the Israeli occupation police are preparing to carry out the demolition and displacement of about 100 Palestinians in Jerusalem, including 42 children, on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.
The sources stated that 500 members of the Israeli occupation forces prepared for the demolition of the Palestinian house.
