International law expert Dr. Anis Al-Qassem warned against the demolition and displacement acts carried out by the Israeli occupation army in the West Bank, adding the demolition and bulldozing operations aim at forcing the Palestinian people off their land.
Al-Qassem told Jordan24 that the occupation army is carrying out what he called “systematic impoverishment operations” against the Palestinian people, such they would be unable to rebuild what has been destroyed due to the huge sums of money that would be needed by the Palestinian National Authority and the residents together. He pointed out that this is what the Israeli occupation government seeks and is doing.
Al-Qassem added that the extent of the destruction of camps, homes and infrastructure in the West Bank is comparable to what the Israelis did in the Gaza Strip, and no party will be able to finance the exorbitant costs which will automatically push the people to voluntarily leave in search of a livelihood in light of the difficult circumstances they live in within the West Bank.
“Unfortunately, we cannot ask the Arab countries to intervene, given the fact that they completely ended their connection with the Palestinian cause, and this was clear in the Gaza war, despite the cohesion and solidarity of western countries with Israel, which today enjoys their unlimited support, economically, militarily and technologically,” he concluded.
