Palestinian activist Fakhri Abu Diab’s home demolished by Israeli forces

“They made us lose the past, memories, and the future.” Palestinian activist Fakhri Abu Diab described the moment Israeli forces came and destroyed his home of 38 years in Jerusalem, leaving him homeless. On Wednesday, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said the United States condemned the demolition and would encourage Israel not to target other homes. In 2023, Jerusalem’s Municipality increased house demolitions in occupied East Jerusalem and demolished a total of 140 homes, a 60 percent increase from the previous year.
