ecretary-General of the Royal Commission for Jerusalem Affairs (RCJA) Abdullah Kanaan on Thursday said Israeli measures targeting the Palestinian presence in Jerusalem were escalating by demolishing and razing Palestinian properties and facilities, citing new demolition and confiscation orders.
In remarks to Jordan News Agency (Petra), Kanaan said the escalation coincided with intensified attacks on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), its facilities and staff, as part of continued efforts to impose a new reality on the ground and undermine the Palestinian presence in the city.
Kanaan noted that the committee views evacuation of the UNRWA compound in Qalandia and the expulsion of agency staff from its training center as a part of a systematic policy targeting the Palestinian presence in Jerusalem, referring to demolition and razing operations in Kafr Aqab and areas near the separation wall in this context.
