| Eviction orders to 30 Palestinian homes around Jerusalem`s Old City | | Middle East Eye - Israeli authorities in occupied East Jerusalem
delivered eviction orders to some 30 Palestinian homes in several
neighbourhoods. All the eviction orders were delivered between
Sunday and Monday, notably calling for the evacuation of 22 houses
in the Old City neighbourhood of Bab al-Silsila - or Chain Gate -
which would leave almost 200 people without a home. The houses,
located on the path towards the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, had cracks
in the walls due to Israeli archaeological excavations under the Old
City, a practice that has affected the solidity of a number of homes
in Jerusalem. Faiza Abu Asab, one of the residents of Bab al-
Silsila, told Middle East Eye that Israeli excavation made the
houses “unliveable”, as some sections of walls had collapsed or bore
large cracks. [ak]

| NGO Ir Amim says 104 housing units were demolished by the Israeli army in 2019, compared with 72 units a year earlier. | | Aljazeera - Israeli authorities demolished homes in Palestinian areas

compared with 72 units in 2018. The 44 percent spike also ends what

| Demo Wed.Free Anwar ‘Abid, Adam Mahmoud, Saleh Abu ‘Asab, Fayez Muheisen, Nadim a-Safadi, Jonathan Pollak, and all the Occupation’s prisoners | | Einat Podjarny - Tomorrow, Wednesday January 15, 2020, a hearing
will be held regarding Jonathan Pollak. We will come at 10am to the
Jerusalem magistrates court to demonstrate our full solidarity with
those resisting the occupation, against cooperation with Apartheid,
and against Israeli colonialism.
Five Palestinian youths, residents of Issawiya, are also currently
in detention after violating in protest the administrative house
arrest imposed on them and refusing to accept the release conditions
they were offered. Jonathan Pollak has been in detention for over a
week for refusing to accept the release conditions he was offered.
In the shrinking space for resistance to the occupation, the refusal
to recognize the authority of the courts is an important political
action, deserving broad support. This action rejects the legitimacy
of Israel’s control, and seeks to subvert the separation mechanisms
of a regime that presents itself as democratic, yet in practice is a
democracy for Jewish Israelis only, and a military dictatorship for
Palestinians.[ak] | 14/1/2020 |

| Qalandia: How Palestinians experience the largest Israeli checkpoint, in photographs | | Jaclynn Ashly -
Mondoweiss
"Since 2015, Palestinian men over the age of 55 and women over the
age of 50 have been permitted by Israeli authorities to cross the
checkpoints without a permit. Palestinians with West Bank IDs who do
not meet these age requirements can only cross the checkpoint with
Israeli military-issued permits, which are oftentimes extremely
difficult to obtain." ca | 12/1/2020 |

| Dr. Ashrawi: Israel’s Plan to Replace Jerusalem UNRWA Schools a Part of War on Palestinian Rights | | IMEMC News & Agencies -
"The announced plan of the so-called Israeli municipality in
occupied Jerusalem, to replace UNRWA-run schools, is an extension of
the Israeli establishment’s campaign of aggression against
Palestinian rights and roots in the City,” Ashrawi said in a
statement. “It is also an assault on multilateral institutions and
international law.” She continued, according to Days of Palestine:
“This reprehensible plan also embodies the Israeli establishment’s
disdain for the United Nations, rejection of Palestinian rights, and
illegal actions aimed at altering the historic, cultural, and
demographic composition of occupied Jerusalem.” ca

| `My dream was destroyed` - home demolitions soar in East Jerusalem | | Judith Sudilovsky - +972 Magazine - “For five years we lived
together in our house, nobody bothered us and we didn’t bother
anybody. We were in our house and our children ran outside and the
only thing we heard was their laughter,” says Muatasem Abbasi of
Silwan. “Now, all day my son remembers how the police destroyed our
home.” It happened on the morning of November 5, while he was at
work. His wife Bara’a Obaid, was home alone with their two
toddlers when the police arrived. His parents were in their home on
the second floor of the building. “They knocked on the door and told
me to open up. I asked them to wait a moment so I could cover my
hair but they didn’t let me close the door and they came inside.
They gave me five minutes to get dressed and dress my children. They
didn’t let me take anything. They threw our things from the window.
I asked from them a number of times for a little bit of mercy but
they didn’t give me any.” With the help of family and
friends, the couple was able to gather a few pieces of clothing and
rescue a white living room set from the rubble of their home. [ak]
