Israel’s Plan to Expel Palestinians from East Jerusalem

As death and destruction continue in Gaza, Israel’s war on Palestine extends to the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The West Bank has seen large-scale military operations, resulting in casualties and destruction. Simultaneously, in East Jerusalem, Israel is using the chaos to accelerate the displacement of Palestinians.

The strategy includes demolitions, evictions, land confiscation, and expansion of illegal settlements to isolate East Jerusalem from the West Bank. These actions aim to reshape the demographic landscape and advance Israel’s colonial ambitions. The use of force is minimized, replaced by intricate laws and policies that push Palestinians out gradually.

Despite international condemnation of its actions, Israel’s relentless pursuit of settlements in East Jerusalem persists. Approval for thousands of housing units in settlements has surged during the ongoing conflict. Palestinians are left with limited options and face harsh restrictions on construction permits.

Israel’s calculated tactics highlight its determination to control Jerusalem and surrounding areas, disregarding the rights and livelihoods of Palestinians.
