Arab MK: Demolition of West Bank village a ‘war crime’
The leader of the Joint (Arab) List party calls the upcoming demolition of a Bedouin village in the West Bank a “war crime.”
“The removal of Khan al-Ahmar is a war crime that will leave entire families without a roof over their heads,” tweets MK Ayman Odeh.
He also claims the planned demolition of the village is meant to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank.
“This is not only a human injustice, [the families] are falling victim to a comprehensive plan of the government to separate the Arab villages in Area C, to expand settlements and annex. In other words, to prevent any chance of peace,” says Odeh.
