"Israel" threatens to displace 15 families in northern Jordan valley
Northern Jordan Valley (QNN)- Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday informed 15 Palestinian families, residing in Himsal Fouqa in the northern Jordan Valley, that they need to leave their tents as the occupation army decided to conduct military training in the area.
The 15 families which consist of 98 members, including children and women, are threatened to forcibly leave their tents within the next four weeks.
"Israel" continues to impose further restrictions on the indigenous people of the Jordan Valley by expelling, evacuation, house demolition, and fines in order to push them leave the land so that they could be replaced with Israeli settlers.
Two Palestinians, including a 14-year-old boy, were shot and killed by Israeli settlers on Tuesday in the village of Al-Mughayyir in the occupied West Bank. A total of three Palestinians have been killed so far today by Israeli settlers across the occupied territories, including two children, amid a spike in settler violence against Palestinians.
Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot has urged the EU to impose sanctions on Israel ahead of a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg, joining seven EU countries, including France and Sweden, in the call. He also slammed the Israeli assault on Lebanon as “totally unacceptable.”
France and Sweden have co-signed a paper urging the European Union to ban imports from illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, and to consider tariffs and tighter import restrictions on such goods.
