Silwan, Jerusalem (SILWANIC) — The Israeli Civil Administration issued eviction orders to the residents of Palestinian Bedouin community Sira’iya. The orders are valid for the tents, barns and animal pens that house the families of Sira’iya and their livestock, horses and poultry. The community is located in Wadi Abu Hindi area between Abu Dis, Bethlahem and Sawahreh of south-east Jerusalem.
Hatem Abdel Qader, who holds the Jerusalem portfolio for the PA, stated that the eviction orders underline the clear intention of the Israeli authorities to displace the Sira’iya clans from their traditional land in the greater Jerusalem area, thus enabling further land annexation and settlement construction in the region, completing the so-called “Eastern Ring” of Jewish settlements around the capital.
