Iran Press/ Middle East: This comes as the municipality of occupied Jerusalem al Quds canceled all agreements with the Palestinian residents of the Silwan neighborhood.
According to Arab48, the Israeli municipality rejected plans it had requested as an alternative to the demolition of the Palestinian homes, instead, it is set to demolish the Palestinian homes and turn the area into The King's Garden, claiming that it was a garden for Israeli kings thousands of years ago.
The municipality had agreed to provide Palestinians with land in other areas to build new homes, but it suddenly backtracked on this decision.
The legal battle has cost the Palestinian community more than $500,000.
Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor said in a statement that the massive destruction and displacement operation against the population may amount to ethnic cleansing and a war crime.
