?Why did Netanyahu forbid the evacuation of a Palestinian town
The residents of the village of Susya were supposed to be evicted from their illegal homes, but Netanyahu ordered a freeze on the evacuation at the last minute
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the postponement of the demolition of five illegal buildings in the Palestinian village of Susiya, south of Mount Hebron. The houses were supposed to be demolished on Tuesday. This is the third time that evacuation has been delayed in recent months.
Demolition of Palestinian homes in the village of Susiya is one of the symbols of the Palestinian conflict in the West Bank. This is why Israel has been subjected to considerable international pressure, particularly in recent weeks, to prevent the demolition of homes, which would have been accompanied by extensive international coverage.
There are other estimates behind the delay in house demolitions, including the visit of US Middle East envoys to the Middle East, David Grepenlatt, and Gerald Kouchner, Donald Trump's special adviser and son-in-law, expected over the weekend.
The timing of the demolition, which was postponed until an unspecified date, is also politically sensitive. Last week, the security forces evacuated two Jewish outposts in the West Bank.
"It expresses its inability to deal with the intensive and illegal activities of the Palestinian Authority," said Raghavim, who headed the petition in the Israeli court against the village of Susya.
"The court examined the case of these buildings and ordered the demolition of the buildings. However, the demolition is postponed time and time again. Buildings and residential neighborhoods have been destroyed in Israeli settlements, but Netanyahu gives immunity to Arabs for an unclear reason. This is outrageous. "
