FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Israeli police dismantled the camps for the second time and made arrests during the overnight raid on Saturday.
On Wednesday, Palestinian protesters pitched some 15 tents, known as Bab al-Shams, in E1, which lies between east al-Quds and the West Bank settlement of Maale Adumim in a bid to draw attention to Israeli settlement plans at the start of the US President Barack Obama’s three-day visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories.
“Sixty army and police vehicles and two helicopters” were deployed, Barghouti said, and added that security forces “attacked us with truncheons,” one of the organizers, Palestinian legislator Mustafa Barghouti said.
The Bab al-Shams camp was first set up in January but taken down by court order on the grounds of “public disorder.” Israeli forces also dismantled similar encampments across the occupied territories.
Ahead of Obama’s first visit to Israel as president, Palestinians held a demonstration in the occupied West Bank and defaced banners bearing Obama’s image.
E1 is a sensitive zone between East al-Quds and the West Bank and its expansion has been on Israel’s agenda since the 1990s.
More than half a million Israelis live in illegal settlements built since Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East al-Quds in 1967.
Much of the international community considers the Israeli settlements illegal, However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the settlement construction is part of Tel Aviv’s policy and will not stop.
