RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Jerusalem - 25 October 2022. The Israeli authorities force a Palestinian family to self-demolish their home in the town of Shuafat, in Jerusalem. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Ahmed Abu Issa, uncle of the owner of the house STORYLINE: Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem were today forced by the Israeli municipality of West Jerusalem to tear down their homes under the pretext they were built without a permit. Ahmad Abu Issa said that his nephew, Abdul Hadi, was forced by the municipality to demolish his 50-square-meter home in Shufat neighborhood of East Jerusalem under the pretext it was built without a permit after he was fined more than $20,000. Palestinians in East Jerusalem find themselves compelled to tear down their homes after receiving a demolition order to avoid paying exorbitant costs to the Israeli municipality if it carries out the demolition. Palestinians say they are forced to build without a permit because the Israeli municipality discriminates against them and refuses to issue them permits or places unreasonable conditions that they cannot afford to issue a permit. At the same time, thousands of housing units are built for Jewish settlers in the city on appropriated Palestinian lands and are made easily accessible to them. Footage by APAwire
