Cairo, - Arab League has condemned the Israeli occupation's decision to confiscate the Palestinian lands in Silwan, East of the occupied Jerusalem with the purpose of building a cable railway, stressing that such an act is a flagrant violation of the international law, as well as the binding UN Security Council resolutions that ban the unilateral decisions in the occupied territories.
The confiscation of lands, expropriation and evicting the population from East Jerusalem represent a systematic plan to Judaize Jerusalem spearheaded by Israel by taking the advantage of the global preoccupation with its crimes in Gaza, said spokesman for the Secretary-General of the Arab League Jamal Rushdi.
Rushdi added that the international community must pay attention to the Israeli dangerous polices in the holy places, especially considering the fascist ideologies of the far-right government which is leading Israel today.
Last December, the Palestinian government announced that the occupation forces had issued a two-month notice to 30 families in Al-Baydoun neighborhood in the town of Silwan to evacuate their homes for the purpose of constructing a cable-railway with a total area targeted for Palestinian real estate and land in this settlement project worth a roughly 8,725 sq m.
