An EU official says the Israeli regime has razed down several humanitarian residential units funded by the European Union in the occupied West Bank.
“On April 9, three of some 18 residential structures were demolished … in Jabal al-Baba” near al-Quds (near Jerusalem), said Maale Adumim, a spokesman for the EU’s delegation to the Palestinian territories, on Friday.
He said Tel Aviv ordered demolition of all 18 structures in February and EU delegates “raised this with the Israeli authorities” both at that time of and after the demolitions.
EurActiv, a Brussels-based news service, quoted diplomats as saying that the EU “should ask for compensation from Israel whenever EU-funded humanitarian aid projects are destroyed.”
The Israeli Committee against House Demolitions says Israel has demolished at least 27,000 Palestinian homes and structures since occupying the West Bank in 1967.
