Special Focus: Highest Rate of Demolitions in Shu’fat Refugee Camp in 15 Years
The report highlights Israel's systematic measures since 1967 to alter the demographic makeup of Jerusalem, specifically aiming to create an Israeli-Jewish majority by reducing the Palestinian presence. Key policies include denying family reunification, revoking residency status, and enforcing discriminatory building permits, forcing Palestinians to live in substandard conditions. The Israeli government has also used administrative demolitions as a tool to forcibly displace Palestinians, including in areas like Shu’fat Refugee Camp. These actions, along with the construction of the Annexation Wall, violate international law and contribute to a coercive environment, pushing Palestinians to leave Jerusalem. The report also discusses Israel's plans to annex surrounding settlement blocs and further marginalize Palestinian neighborhoods.
