| Destroying Palestinian Jerusalem, One Institution at a Time | | Yara Hawari - Al-Shabaka - On July 22, 2020, Israeli police raided
and looted the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music, the Yaboos
Cultural Centre, and the Shafaq Cultural Network in East Jerusalem
under the pretext that the institutions were funding terrorism. The
institutions’ directors were also arrested and detained. These
attacks on Palestinian cultural centers are not new and reflect the
Israeli state’s continued systematic destruction of Palestinian
Jerusalem. Jerusalem has historically been central to Palestinian
social and political identity. But since its capture and division
into an Israeli-controlled West and a Jordanian-controlled East in
1948, Israel has thoroughly obscured Jerusalem’s Palestinian identity
with ethnic cleansing campaigns and an ongoing occupation that
renders life unbearable for the city’s Palestinians. Indeed, since
East Jerusalem was occupied in 1967, the Israeli regime has actively
worked to erase the Palestinian presence in the city through the
construction of the separation wall, the imposition of unworkable
residency requirements, urban planning schemes that demolish and
replace Palestinian structures, and frequent closures of Palestinian
cultural and political institutions.(rh) | 8/11/2020 |

| Ashrawi: US decision to label Jerusalem as Israel is attempt to erase Palestinians | | Wafa News Agency- Following is the full statement by Dr. Hanan
Ashrawi: "The US State Department`s new decision to allow the
labeling of Jerusalem as part of Israel in official US documents is a
falsification of the City´s history and identity, in line with
Israeli criminality and lawlessness. It is also a continuation of
this administration`s sinister scramble to compound injustice and
create new oppressive facts in Palestine ahead of upcoming elections.
This decision comes while Israel is taking unprecedented illegal
measures to displace and replace Palestinians in Jerusalem, including
home demolitions, exile orders, and revoking the ID`s of
Palestinians. By adopting this measure, the US administration is also
retroactively recognizing other illegal Israeli actions, including
the ethnic cleansing of West Jerusalem and the grand theft of
Palestinian property. This is an affront to the City`s history and
identity. It is also a clear violation of UN resolutions 181 II
(1948) and 194 III (1948), which affirmed the status of the whole
city of Jerusalem as Corpus separatum, as well as UN General Assembly
resolution 303 IV (1949) and others that affirmed the inviolability
of Jerusalem`s status. (rh

| Palestinians confront Emirati delegation at Al-Aqsa | | Aaron Boxerman - Times of Israel - Members of an Emirati
agricultural delegation, arrived in Israel to accelerate the
implementation of the Normalization Agreement, decided to visit the
Al-Aqsa Mosque. In marked contrast to the Israeli media and
political establishment hailing their "historical" visit,
Palestinian at Al-Aqsa were far from welcoming. strongly hostile.In
videos of the delegation’s arrival at the mosque, circulated widely
on Palestinian social media, a Palestinian at the scene is heard
shouting “Trash, trash!” at the Emiratis, and another one telling
them to “leave, go on, get out.” Palestinian Authority Prime
Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh called the Emiratis` visit “saddening"
and stated “One ought to enter the gates of the blessed Al-Aqsa
Mosque by way of its owners, rather than through the gates of the
occupation”. The incidents might be the harbingers of what would
happen at Al-Aqsa should large-scale pilgrimage from the Gulf start,
a possibility mentioned by President Trump at the singing ceremony a
few weeks ago. [ak] | 20/10/2020 |

| Settlement Under the Guise of Tourism: The Elad Settler Organization in Silwan | | Peace Now - Tourism and archaeology have become central to Elad’s operations and they in fact constitute another type of settlement. In addition to the legitimacy that the tourism enterprise provides Elad, it also allows Elad to change the facts on the ground, making Silwan much more “Israeli.” Through tourism, Elad is able to bring hundreds of thousands of Israelis as visitors to Silwan and tell the story of the area as they see it. bz | 13/10/2020 |

| Israel to put temporary freeze on demolitions in East Jerusalem | | YUMNA PATEL - Mondoweiss - According to Adalah – The Legal Center for
Arab Minority Rights in Israel, the Israeli government will be
freezing demolitions “across the country,” a move that the government
had reportedly taken at the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis back in
March. After COVID-19 death rates declined inside Israel during the
summer months, Adalah noted that Israel “amped” its demolitions of
Palestinian homes back up. Following a letter to Israeli Attorney
General Avichai Mandelblit, sent by Adalah Attorney Suhad Bishara,
“demanding an immediate halt to Israel’s accelerated policy of home
demolitions” in East Jerusalem, the Israeli Justice Ministry
announced it would “adjust” the policy to reflect the actions taken
back in March./After re-examining things – and given the restrictions
recently imposed by the government following the further spread of
COVID-19 –it has been decided at this stage, to adjust the
enforcement policy of planning and construction offenses to align
with the state of emergency, similar to the policy decided upon in
March 2020,” the ministry said.(rh) | 6/10/2020 |

| Palestinians face constant COVID-19 testing shortage | | YUMNA PATEL - Mondoweiss - As the coronavirus continues to spread
across the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt), local news this week
was inundated with warnings of testing kit shortages in the West Bank
and Gaza, the latter of which has seen a worrying spike in cases
recently. The Palestinian Minister of Health Mai al-Kalia told the
Voice of Palestine radio on Tuesday that Israel “obstructed” the
entry of 100,000 COVID-19 testing swabs that were destined for the
West Bank in coordination with the United Nations (UN). As a result,
she said, the MOH will only have enough swabs to last them for three
days, after which time the West Bank would run out of the testing
kits. (rh) | 6/10/2020 |
