Speaking in an interview with PIC, Sheikh Omar al-Kiswani said that by the end of 2016 and the start of 2017, Israeli Haredim gangs, commonly known as the “blacks” in reference to their black clothes and dogmatic doctrines, have been allowed to break into the al-Aqsa Mosque and perform their Talmudic rituals in the presence of Israeli cops.

Israel demolished 143 Palestinian homes in January
The Middle East Monitor An official Palestinian committee announced on Sunday that the Israeli occupation authorities demolished 143 Palestinian homes this month, Arab48. com has reported. The figure is double the number of homes destroyed by the Israelis in January 2016. The Anti-Israeli Settlement and Wall Committee said that occupation forces carried out most of the demolitions in the areas where it is planning to establish new illegal settlements or expand existing colonies for Jewish settlers. The Information Director of the Committee, Qasim Awwad, said that there has been an increase in the demolition of Palestinian homes compared to the increase in building new settlement units. “The Israeli authorities built three new settlements in the Jordan
Valley, Nablus and Hebron,” explained Awwad. He noted that a new settlement generally starts by placing makeshift housing units on Palestinian land and then connecting them to mains electricity and water services. They then develop into full settlements. The Israeli government has recently approved even more new settlement units in the occupied Palestinian territories, in defiance of UN Security Council Resolution 2334. Palestinian MP Mustafa Al-Barghouti pointed out that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not miss any opportunity to let everyone know of his government’s settlement policy. He called for the people to wake up and confront Netanyahu’s settlement plans. AL-QUDS WEEKLY REPORT

Israeli colonisation of Al-Quds focus of new infographic series The Middle East Monitor Six Palestinian civil society organisations, CAC- Al-Quds University, JLAC, the Society of St. Yves, Al-Haq, BADIL and al-Shabaka, have collaborated with Visualising Palestine to create a series of visuals on the situation in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem. The graphics “aim at raising awareness of Israel’s apartheid policies in the city, its effects on the Palestinian population, and the gross violations of international humanitarian and human rights law that arise.”
Such measures include the so-called ‘centre of life’ policy (by which Palestinians residency status can be revoked) and a discriminatory building permit regime. These policies serve to create “unbearable living conditions for the Palestinian population and is engaging in their silent forcible transfer.” Meanwhile, punitive measures specifically targeting the Palestinian population of East Jerusalem include “expropriating land and property, denying building permits, and demolishing Palestinian homes in a systematic and discriminatory manner.” Israel is also “severely restricting the natural development of Palestinian neighbourhoods by instead facilitating the expansion of Israeli settlements in East Al-Quds” and “severely restricting family (re)unification and child registration of East Jerusalem Palestinians.”
The first infographic, ‘Living under policies of colonization in Jerusalem’, provides “an overview of the discriminatory Israeli policies that target Palestinians in East Al-Quds, as well as others that seek to unlawfully increase the Israeli settler population in the city.” East Al-Quds is considered occupied 5
