Jerusalem Affairs Minister Fadi Hidmi said stressed that the escalated Israeli violence against Palestinians in East Jerusalem requires an urgent and immediate intervention by the international community.
He said that putting a stop to Israel’s escalations in occupied Jerusalem is a test for the seriousness of the international community, stressing that the Israeli violations during the past weeks indicate that Israel, the occupying power, has begun to disregard all international efforts made over the past weeks to achieve calm.
He called on the international community to take immediate actions to remove all restrictions placed by Israeli occupation police in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, ensure the cancellation of all ethnic cleansing decisions in Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan neighborhoods, and ensure the release of all Palestinian detainees.
