Palestinian Homes and Shops Under Threat in Jerusalem
The crisis of demolishing Palestinian homes and structures in Jerusalem is intensifying, with an expansion of demolition orders and threats targeting neighborhoods such as Qalandiya, Silwan, and Al-Abbasiyah. There are growing fears that these measures are being used as a means to pressure Palestinian residents and force them to leave the city. Estimates indicate that there are between 23,000 and 30,000 demolition orders issued by Israeli courts, potentially displacing between 100,000 and 150,000 Palestinians. Additionally, around 60,000 structures in other areas are under threat. Palestinian families face limited options, including legal appeals, rebuilding with the risk of future demolitions, or resorting to temporary shelters such as living in buses. These challenges are compounded by declining economic opportunities and rising poverty rates, which range between 78% and 80%. Officials criticize the international community's limited ability to enforce protective measures for Palestinians and are calling for concrete action to halt demolitions and safeguard the Palestinian presence in Jerusalem.
