The demolitions were justified by "unlicensed construction" in area classified ‘C’ according to Oslo. Jiftlik is located in the heart of the Jordan Valley; its total area is 185032 dunums, all of it classified ‘C’ according to Oslo Accords.
The village is unrecognized by the Israelis rendering most of its structures threatened with demolitions. While 70 % of its lands have already been confiscated.
In addition, Jiftlik is suffering from the colonies surrounding it especially Misuah and Mikhola colonies; these colonies that had already devoured huge areas in addition to being the starting point of several attacks against the villagers.
