A Palestinian citizen of occupied East Jerusalem started Saturday to take apart his house under pressure from the Israeli municipality of West Jerusalem and to prevent paying huge expenses and fines, according to local sources.They said Mohammad Hussein Qanbar employed a bulldozer to demolish his 120-square-meter house in Ras al-Amoud community of East Jerusalem after he received a demolition order from the Israeli town under the pretext of construction without a license.
Seven individuals lived in your house, they said, who have actually become homeless.Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem state they are forced to build without a license to accommodate their growing households due to the fact that getting one is practically difficult from a racist Israeli town that discriminates between Jewish and Palestinian homeowners and supports a demographic balance in favor of Jews.When getting a demolition order, Palestinians choose to tear down their houses by themselves because otherwise, the Israeli municipality will require them to pay incredibly high costs and fines if its personnel performs the demolition.
