Mansour demands an end to the occupation plans to displace the Palestinians from Sheikh Jarrah

Occupied Jerusalem (ST): The permanent representative of Palestine to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, has renewed his demand for the international community to take swift action to stop the Israeli occupation plans to displace Palestinians from Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem.

Wafa news agency reported that Mansour made clear in letters to the UN Secretary-General, the President of the Security Council and the President of the United Nations General Assembly that the occupation forces and settlers are escalating their attacks on the Palestinians in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem in order to displace them from their homes and seize them in a new crime of ethnic cleansing to implement their plans to Judaize the city.

Mansour pointed out that representatives of 28 Palestinian families consisting of about 500 Palestinians living in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood and 191 organizations supporting their just cause sent a letter to the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court demanding the speedy inclusion of the imminent forced displacement of Palestinians from Sheikh Jarrah as part of the investigation into the occupation crimes against the Palestinians.

Mansour stressed that the international community cannot remain paralyzed in the face of the crimes of the occupation and that the time has come for international action, especially through the Security Council, to implement international law and resolutions of international legitimacy and to hold Israel, the occupying power, accountable for its violations and crimes against the Palestinian people.
