The Christian Islamic Committee: The occupation seeks to obliterate the identity of Jerusalem
On February 21st, the Islamic-Christian Committee for the Support of Al-Quds and the Holy Sites appealed to the international community to urgently intervene and pressure the Israeli occupation to halt its settlement plans aimed at obliterating the Arab Palestinian identity of the occupied city of Jerusalem and completely Judaizing it.
In a statement reported by the Palestinian Wafa Agency, the Committee warned of the occupation’s plan to plunder lands and religious sites in the Mount of Olives overlooking the Old City.
The Committee noted that it coincides with the unprecedented attack of the Israeli occupation to seize Palestinian lands and real estate in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, Silwantown, Bab Al-Khalil and other neighborhoods in Jerusalem.
The Committee confirmed that the Israeli occupation is racing against time in imposing its false narrative about the city of Jerusalem by obliterating and removing religious and archaeological landmarks and sites and trying to change the historical Arab identity of the holy city and undermining the Palestinian demographic presence in it.
