EU: Demolition of Khan al-Ahmar a ‘grave breach’ of international law

The European Parliament says Israel’s decision to raze a Bedouin village in the West Bank constitutes a grave violation of international law.

EU lawmakers warn Israel that “the demolition of Khan al-Ahmar and the forcible transfer of its residents would constitute a grave breach of international humanitarian law.”

The resolution says the demolition of Khan al-Ahmar will threaten peace efforts with the Palestinians, and calls on Israel to compensate the EU for the infrastructure it built in the village.
