Hebron (QNN)- The European Union has condemned Israel’s demolition of the donor-funded Asafat school in Masafer Yatta in the southern occupied West Bank city of Hebron, calling the demolition “illegal under international law.”
In a statement issued on Friday, the EU Spokesperson Peter Stano said, “The EU recalls that demolitions are illegal under international law, and children’s right to education must be respected.”
Stano added, “This unacceptable development comes while 1.200 Palestinians in Masafer Yatta remain at risk of forced transfer following the Israeli Supreme Court’s decision in May, and against the backdrop of an increasingly coercive and intimidating environment for the Palestinian residents of Masafer Yatta, including the movement restrictions imposed on them, teachers and humanitarian responders.”
The EU also called on Israeli occupation authorities to “halt all demolitions and evictions, which will only increase the suffering of the Palestinian population and further escalate an already tense environment.” (...)
