Demolition of 21 shops owned by the Palestinians in Jerusalem on Wednesday by Israeli Occupation comes as part of an Israeli project to judaize Jerusalem and displace its Palestinian residents, Hamas spokesperson Abdel Latif al-Qanoa

In a press release, al-Qanoa added that the Israeli PM Netanyahu’s threat to expel the Palestinian Bedouin communities and demolish Khan al-Ahmar, a Palestinian village in eastern Jerusalem, aimed at forcing the Palestinian Jerusalemites out of Jerusalem and obliterating the Arab and Islamic identity of the holy city.

Al-Qanoa called for supporting the Palestinian Jerusalemites in order to stand steadfast in the face of the Israeli ‘apartheid project’.

The Israeli Occupation authorities have demolished 21 businesses and petrol stations in Jerusalem's Shuafat refugee camp under the pretext of being built without a permit.
