JERUSALEM, Sunday, March 03, 2019 (WAFA) – Bulldozers of the Israeli municipality of Jerusalem demolished today a car wash workshop in the occupied East Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Safafa, under the pretext that it was built without a permit, said WAFA correspondent.
The Israeli municipality said the demolition was to make way for a light train route which would serve the illegal Israeli settlement of Gilo, nearby.
Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem say they are forced to build without permit because the Israeli municipality rarely issues permits to the city’s original Palestinian citizens as a way to reduce their number by forcing them to leave it and find accommodation and work elsewhere.
