The Israeli plans to demolish and evacuate Palestinian Communities in the Jordan Valley
Following the Israeli occupation of the West bank and the Gaza strip in 1967, Israel targeted the eastern part of the West Bank by announcing vast areas of it as ‘Closed Military Area’. This, in turn, had ceased Palestinian urban and economic development over the years and caused the displacement of many Palestinian families from their lands. This policy also constituted an obstacle to the growth of Palestinian communities in the eastern zone as most of Palestinian communities are located in areas where construction is prohibited unless a building permit is granted by the Israeli Civil Administration.
 
Israel has also depleted natural resources in the eastern part of the West Bank such as the agricultural lands and water sources (wells and springs) through the construction of artesian wells to divert water resources for the use of Israeli settlements in order to force Palestinians to leave.
 
The Israeli demolition and evacuation policies in the eastern zone come to confirm on the determination of the Israeli government to go forward with the implementation of its colonial plans, which were never set on the basis of security needs, military necessities, and unauthorized construction but with the aim to build Israeli settlements in the eastern zone. These practices violate all human rights under international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949:
  • Articles 53 & 147 of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 provides that ‘any destruction by the Occupying power of real or personal property belonging individually or collectively to private persons, or to the State, or other public authorities or social or cooperative organizations is prohibited, except where such destruction is rendered absolutely necessary by military operations.’
  • Also Art. 23 of the Hague Convention of 1907 also provides: In addition to the prohibitions provided by special Conventions, it is especially forbidden to destroy or seize the enemy’s property, unless such destruction or seizure be imperatively demanded by the necessities of war;
  • Moreover under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted and proclaimed by General Assembly resolution 217 a (III) of, December 10, 1948, Article 17 reads: ‘No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property.’ Which means it bans Israel from destroying or confiscating the property of the Palestinians at any case.
