Jewish settlers seize Palestinian land in W. Bank, turn it to outpost

RAMALLAH, July 24 (KUNA) -- Extremist Jewish settlers seized a land belonging to Palestinians coming from Bethlehem and Al-Khalil (Hebron), local security sources said on Saturday.
Three mobile homes were placed by settlers over a piece of land belonging to Palestinian citizen Abdulrahaman Sultan, in Bwaida in Al-Khalil.
The settlers did this under the supervision of Israeli soldiers, media and public relations department in the local police said.
This is part of the Israeli plans to seize the Palestinian land and turn them to outposts and later into settlements. The building of settlements in West Bank and Eastern Jerusalem is illegal according to UN resolutions.
The Palestinians insist that Israel should halt such actions in order to move to the direct negotiations with Tel Aviv. (end) nq.lb KUNA 241155 Jul 10NNNN
