WASHINGTON DC, United States Congresswoman Marie Newman has described Israel’s forceful expulsion of Palestinian families in occupied Jerusalem as despicable, calling for an immediate end to this policy.

“Despicable. Palestinian families are being ripped from their homes in the neighborhood of Silwan [in occupied Jerusalem], Newman said in a tweet.

“The Israeli government is trampling on Palestinian rights and international law in East Jerusalem. Secretary Blinken needs to make clear that these demolitions must end NOW.”
