East Jerusalem Under the Cover of War: Acceleration of New Settlements Juxtaposed with a Stark Rise in Home Demolitions

It details the promotion of new settlements with over 12,000 housing units and an alarming rise in Palestinian home demolitions, marking a nearly two-fold increase compared to the pre-war period. These actions are seen as part of Israel's strategy to alter the city's demographic makeup and undermine prospects for a negotiated peace, while displacing Palestinians and violating international law.
