RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Maqdisi Society said that the Israeli occupation authorities have handed on Thursday orders to demolish seven homes in the Jabal al-Mukabber in the southern part of Jerusalem.
The authorities have suspended an administrative order by the Israeli ministry of interior stipulating the demolition of the neighbourhood's mosque as well within ten days.
The homes threatened with demolition belong to the Juma'a family and house 51 people including 33 children. They have already been asked by the Jerusalem municipality and interior ministry officials to vacate their homes within 10 days.
Muath al-Za'tari, head of the society condemned the Israeli measures which he said aim to force Palestinians in Jerusalem to leave the city adding that these measures are part of a systematic policy of ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem's Palestinians.
Zaatari called on the Arab, Muslim and international community to intervene to stop the ongoing Israeli ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem.
The Juma'a family has already suffered the demolition of three homes, the latest of which was on 12 December 2008, in addition to demolition orders for 9 homes belonging to the Juma'a family and their neighbours, the Khalayla family.
