Barkat: Municipality to carry out demolition of unlicensed homes in OJ


[ 14/06/2010 - 11:03 AM ]

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Nir Barkat, the mayor of Israeli-controlled Jerusalem municipality, has said that demolition of Palestinian homes in eastern Jerusalem should continue unabated.

He told a press conference on Sunday that those buildings were built without permits from his municipality and would be knocked down.

The municipality chief said, on the other hand, that he would lower rents of apartments for Israeli settlers by about 20% to limit migration out of the city and to encourage young couples to reside in it.

The municipality is threatening to raze 88 Palestinian homes in the Bustan suburb in occupied Jerusalem alone.
