Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe United Nations condemns the demolition of Khirbet Humsa, a Palestinian village in the Jordan Valley, as a violation of Israel’s obligations under international humanitarian law.
“I remind all parties that the extensive destruction of property and the forcible transfer of protected people in an occupied territory are grave breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention,” senior UN official Yvonne Helle says.
“While assuring that the humanitarian community stands ready to support all those who have been displaced or otherwise affected, I strongly reiterate our call to Israel to immediately halt unlawful demolitions,” Helle says.
