RAMALLAH, November 17, 2017 (WAFA) – The demolition of a Palestinian home and sealing the family home of a Palestinian prisoner in Ramallah and Hebron districts respectively dominated the front page headlines in Palestinian Arabic dailies on Friday.

Al-Ayyam and al-Hayat al-Jadida reported Israeli occupation authorities demolished a Palestinian home in Ni‘lin village, west of Ramallah, purportedly for being built without a license.

The dailies added Israeli occupation authorities also sealed the family home of a Palestinian prisoner in his hometown of Yatta, south of Hebron.

Israeli forces reportedly sealed the family home of Khaled Shehadeh Makhamreh, who has been in Israeli imprisonment after he carried out a deadly attack in Tel Aviv in June 2016 that killed four Israelis.

The dailies also reported Israeli occupation authorities have decided to move al-Walajah checkpoint, south of Jerusalem, some two kilometers deeper into the Palestinian territories.

The relocation of the checkpoint from its current location near the exit from Jerusalem to the new location would cut off the Palestinians of al-Walaja village from their local spring of Ein Hanya and farmlands.

On the other hand, al-Quds opted to highlight an Israeli plan to forcefully displace the Palestinian Bedouin communities in East Jerusalem’s outskirts in its main front page news item.

Al-Quds and al-Ayyam reported in this regard Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered that the Palestinian Bedouin communities in Jerusalem outskirts be displaced and their homes razed in order to expand Maale Adumim settlement.

These Bedouin communities have reportedly been settling in Jerusalem’s outskirts, now within the so-called E1 corridor near Maale Adumim, since they were forcibly displaced from their villages in Beer al-Sabe‘ (Beersheba) during the creation of Israel in 1984.

They communities, comprising of over 7,000 people, are under the threat of forcible transfer by Israel as a prelude for the construction for thousands of settler units in the Jewish settlement in E1, a step which would effectively divide the West Bank and make the creation of a contiguous Palestinian state almost impossible.

Furthermore, al-Quds reported Palestinian Islamic Jihad official Nafez Azzam stating Israel’s threats to target Islamic Jihad leaders in the besieged Gaza Strip would not succeed in disrupting the life of Palestinians.

Al-Quds and al-Hayat al-Jadida reported the European Union (EU) affirmed its ongoing support for Palestinian reconciliation efforts.

Member of Fatah Central Committee Mohammad Shtayyeh was reported in al-Quds stating that Saudi Arabia has pledged to increase its monthly financial support to the Palestinian Authority (PA) from USD$7.5 to USD$20.

Al-Quds said Israel bulldozers demolished the Palestinian Bedouin village of al-Araqib in the Naqab desert for 121 consecutive time.

Moreover, al-Quds and al-Ayyam spotlighted new documents that have been recently released by Israel dating from 1967 war.

According to the dailies, Israel mulled depriving the Gaza Strip from water, forcibly displacing Palestinians from Galilee and encouraging Palestinians to immigrate from the West Bank.

Al-Ayyam and al-Hayat al-Jadida reported Rafah border crossing will be open for three days in both directions starting from Saturday.

According to al-Ayyam, Israeli forces opened fire at Palestinian farmers who demonstrated along the border in the central Gaza Strip.

It added an EU diplomatic mission is set to arrive to the occupied Palestinian territories to discuss the conditions in the besieged Gaza Strip.

It reported Israeli settlement watchdog B’Tselem stating Israeli attorney general Avichai Mandelblit has removed the last legal and ethical obstacle to stealing Palestinian lands.

B’Tselem reportedly made this statement following Mandelblit’s authorization of the confiscation of private Palestinian lands for the need of Israeli Jewish settlers in the West Bank.

Al-Ayyam and al-Hayat al-Jadida said Israel plans to obliterate the ethnically-cleansed Palestinian village of Lifta near Jerusalem.

Member of Fatah Central Committee Azzam al-Ahmad was reported in al-Hayat al-Jadida stating that the US administration has not so far introduced any specific proposal for the revival of the Middle East peace process.

China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs was reported in al-Hayat al-Jadida stating what was required was not that new initiatives on the Palestinian question be submitted, ]but that Israel implements United Nations (UN) resolution[.
