Israeli Calls to Demolish Qalqilya High-Rises
Calls are escalating within the Israeli occupation for the demolition of tall buildings in the city of Qalqilya in northern the West Bank; their claim is that these structures provide surveillance over Palestinian areas, alongside demands to restrict building heights. Israeli officials, including Knesset member Ariel Kallner and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, have called for the destruction of these buildings as part of efforts aimed at reducing urban expansion and strengthening control over the area. These moves are part of an old plan to impose building restrictions in Qalqilya, including a decision to prevent structures exceeding 10 floors, amidst limited urban expansion due to control over more than 97% of the land in Area C, and the presence of a system of settlements and outposts surrounding the city. These measures effectively reduce Palestinians' opportunities for urban growth and intensify restrictions on the population, amid rising rhetoric and actions by Israeli officials seeking to control Palestinian urban development in the region.
