Twenty-five Democratic members of the US House of Representatives send letter to Secretary of State Blinken, calling on him to pressure Israel to halt the planned forced eviction of Palestinians

Palestinian demonstrators run away from the gas fired by Israeli soldiers during an anti-Israel demonstration over tensions in Jerusalem near the Jewish settlement of Beit El near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, on May 13, 2021.

"We write to express our deep concern about Israel's imminent plan to forcibly displace nearly 2,000 Palestinians in the Jerusalem neighbourhoods of Al-Bustan and Sheikh Jarrah," said the letter, led by Representatives Marie Newman and Mark Pocan. The letter cited a report which revealed that an estimated 5,000 Palestinian homes were destroyed by Israeli authorities in East Jerusalem between 1967 and 2017.

The latest death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks in the Gaza rose to 67, including five women and 17 children, with 388 people injured, the Palestinian Health Ministry said Wednesday.Heavy damage has also been recorded across Gaza's residential areas, including the leveling of multistory buildings.
