JERUSALEM: Israeli occupation bulldozers Tuesday began demolishing a building under construction in the town of Beit Hanina, north of occupied Jerusalem.
Local sources reported that the occupation forces began early in the morning demolishing an eight-story building under construction, adding that it’s owned by local resident local resident Farid Abu Zahariya.
Large forces from the occupation army were deployed at the site, simultaneously with crews from the occupation municipality demolishing the upper floors of the building with bulldozers.
Eyewitnesses said that the occupation forces began demolishing the building, each floor of which has an area of 300 square metres, since 6:00 A.M, noting that demolition process is still taking place until now.
Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem say they are forced to build without permit because the Israeli municipality rarely issues permits to the city’s original Palestinian citizens as a way to reduce their number by forcing them to leave it and find accommodation
and work elsewhere.

Amman: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates expressed regret and disappointment over the Security Council’s failure to adopt a ceasefire resolution in the Gaza Strip due to the United States of America’s veto against the draft resolution submitted by Algeria on behalf of the Arab group.
The Ministry’s official spokesperson, Sufyan Qudah, said that the Security Council’s failure to issue a resolution to end the raging war on Gaza for the third time reflects the international inability to stop the humanitarian catastrophe caused by the senseless war of aggression that Israel insists on continuing.
Qudah emphasized that the rules of international law must be applied impartially and without preference, and that the international community particularly the Security Council must fulfill its obligations by passing a resolution to end the bloody war in Gaza, which has claimed the lives of over 29,000 innocent people, the majority of whom are women and children.
