Israel’s force deportation of Sheikh Jarrah’s occupants

Sheikh Jarrah refers to a neighborhood in Israeli occupied East Jerusalem housing 38 families who are currently under the threat of forced eviction by the Israeli courts to accommodate Israeli settlers. There’s been current ongoing protest to reverse the ongoing eviction efforts and it has been met with brutal police resistance.

The neighborhood had been a safe haven for Palestinians whom were forcibly expelled by Zionist militias in the 1948 war and had been a beautiful lush garden of peace, promoting hope for a new beginning for said families.  As we speak, Israel is openly violating Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention in which it is not allowed to displace protected persons or transfer its citizens into the occupied territory.

As many other atrocities Israel has committed, Malaysian Youth Council condemns in the strongest of terms Israel’s deportation of occupants in Sheikh Jarrah and calls upon it to uphold and respect the international rule of law and hopes that the international community to follow suit.
