Jerusalem Governor: “Palestinians Facing Ethnic Cleansing in Jerusalem”

Jerusalem governor at the Palestinian Authority, Adnan Al Hesseini, stated Saturday that Jerusalem and its Palestinian natives are subjected to ethnic cleansing and blatant racism as they face expulsion, as Israeli forces continue demolishing their homes, and replacing them with settlers.

In a press release, Al Husseini said that the Jerusalem Municipality waged a war against the Palestinians by issuing orders to demolish their homes, stores, and even by wiping out whole neighborhoods, to replace them later on with more illegal settlement outposts.

"This is an Israeli war against the Palestinians and their land in Jerusalem", he stated, "This is a war that targets the very existence of Arabs and Palestinians in the city, this war targets our history".

The Jerusalem governor demanded the Arab countries to take more serious stances towards the illegal Israeli acts, and added that Jerusalem is the heart and essence of every Palestinian".

"The Palestinian people must defend their land, must counter the Israeli plans, must defend the Arab Jerusalem and its holy sites", he stated.

It is worth mentioning that Al Husseini met on Saturday with dozens of Jordanian pharmacists and physicians visiting the country.
