"Iphethini eqhubekayo yokwanda kwezindawo zokuhlala e-East Jerusalem kuhlangene nokuxoshwa ngendluzula kwamaPalestina ahlala isikhathi eside kudala isimo esingenakubekezelelwa esingachazwa kuphela, ngenxa yokwanda kwaso, njengendlela yokuhlanzwa kobuhlanga," kuxwayisa uRichard Falk, uMlobi Okhethekile wezobuzwe. izindawo zasePalestine ezidliwe.

Ethula umbiko wakhe wakamuva ku-UN Human Rights Council, uMnu. Falk uthe, phakathi neminyaka edlule, u-Israyeli uthathe izinyathelo zokushintsha ngokungenakulungiseka ukubunjwa kwabantu bengxenye yeJerusalema.

"Izifiki zakwa-Israel ziqhubekile nokuthatha amakhaya asePalestine futhi zixosha abantu basePalestine ezindlini zabo amashumi eminyaka nezizukulwane, kanti iziphathimandla zakwa-Israel ziseka izenzo zabo ezingekho emthethweni," etshela inhlangano enamalungu angama-47 ehlangene eGeneva.

UMnu.

Ngenxa yalokhu, abantu abangu-175, abangaphezu kwengxenye yabo okuyizingane, balahlekelwe amakhaya, nokuyinto ekhuphuke kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nesikhathi esifanayo ngo-2010 lapho kwabhidlizwa khona abangu-56 kwaxoshwa abantu abangu-129. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, izindawo zokuhlala zakwa-Israyeli eWest Bank ziye zaqhubeka zanda, esho esitatimendeni.

Izikhulu eziphezulu ze-UN sezicele kaningi ezinyangeni ezisanda kwedlula ukuthi kumiswe ukukhula kwezindawo zokuhlala zakwa-Israeli endaweni ehlaselwe yasePalestine, zixwayisa ngokuthi ukuvuselelwa kabusha kwezindawo zokuhlala kuzokwehlisa ukwethembana njengoba izingxoxo eziqondile ze-Israel-Palestine sezimile.

UMnu. Falk unqatshelwe ukungena kwa-Israel futhi kudingeke ukuthi athembele kuphela emibikweni yeminye imithombo ephathelene nesimo saseWest Bank. Kulindeleke ukuthi enze umsebenzi omusha ngo-Ephreli wokuqoqa ulwazi lombiko ku-General Assembly.

Ucele uMkhandlu Wamalungelo Esintu ukuthi uqinise imizamo yokunxenxa i-Israel ukuthi ibambisane nomsebenzi woMmeli Okhethekile, okuhlanganisa nokuvumela ukufinyelela ezindaweni ezidlayo zasePalestine.

Phakathi kwezinye izincomo zakhe, uphinde wacela uMkhandlu ukuthi wenze imizamo yokuthi inkantolo ephakeme ye-UN, iNkantolo Yobulungisa Yamazwe Ngamazwe (ICJ), ihlole izinsolo zokuthi ukuhlala isikhathi eside kweWest Bank ne-East Jerusalem kunezinto “zobukoloni”. "ubandlululo" kanye "nokuhlanzwa kobuhlanga," kanye nokuqinisa imizamo yokunamathisela imiphumela yezomthetho ekuhlulekeni kwe-Israel ukuqeda ukuvinjelwa okucishe kube yiminyaka emine eGaza Strip.
