MK Ghattas calls house demolitions ‘declaration of war’

Joint (Arab) List MK Basel Ghattas strongly condemns the demolition of three uninhabited structures in the town of Lod and defines the move a “declaration of war” by the government against the Arab public. According to Ghattas, the government is demolishing homes it claims were built illegally instead of trying to solve the housing crisis in the Arab sector.

The High Follow-Up Committee for Arab Citizens of Israel intends to discuss a general strike in the Arab population in protest of the home demolitions.
