Jewish settlers threaten to seize Palestinian building in OJ

The Israeli settlers filed a complaint with the occupation police on Wednesday demanding evacuation of the building of its 40 inhabitants.

They threatened to use force if the evacuation was not made by early next month.

Jewish settlers have already taken the Yonatan building in the heart of Silwan and were trying to lay their hands on other Jerusalemite homes and lands in the town.

The Israeli higher court had ordered the demolition of the Yonatan building because it was built without permit, yet the Israeli-controlled municipality of Jerusalem did not carry out the order.
