RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Jerusalem, 17 January 2022. Israeli authorities today forced a Palestinian to continue self-demolishing his store in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah. STORYLINE: The municipality staff forced Jamal Abu Nejmeh to complete the demolition of his store in the neighborhood, under the pretext that it was built without a permit, in order to avoid paying exorbitant fines if the Israeli municipality of Jerusalem carries out the demolition on its own. Abu Nejmeh said that for decades he suffered from Israeli authorities orders against his store, noting that he repeatedly tried to appeal the demolition order, to no avail. The municipality informed him that he had only two options; either demolish the shop himself or have paying expensive demolition costs to the Israeli municipality in case it carries out the demolition. Using the pretext of illegal building, Israel demolishes houses on a regular basis to restrict Palestinian expansion in Jerusalem. Footage by/APAwire
