Eight EU Countries Urge «Israel» to Reconsider Village Demolition

Local Editor

Eight European Union nations are underlining their opposition to the “Israeli” entity’s planned demolition of the Palestinian village of Khan al-Ahmar and are urging its government to reconsider the decision.

The statement was read by Dutch Ambassador Karel Van Oosterom outside the UN Security Council on Thursday. It rebuked the so-called “Israeli” High Court's Sept. 5 decision to demolish the desert community.

The eight countries are France, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany and Italy. They say in the statement that they "will not give up on a negotiated two-state solution with Jerusalem [al-Quds] as a capital" of both the entity and a new Palestinian state.

That was an implicit slap at US President Donald Trump's declaration in December that contested al-Quds is the so-called capital of the “Israeli” entity.
