The US envoy to the UN urged Israel on Wednesday to refrain from evictions in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield said at a UN Security Council briefing that Israel and Palestine should abstain from unilateral steps for progress, which she said would exacerbate tensions and undermine a two-state solution.
"That includes annexations of territory, settlement activity, demolitions, and evictions – like what we saw in Sheikh Jarrah – incitement to violence, and providing compensation for individuals imprisoned for acts of terrorism," she said.
Her remarks came after Israeli forces earlier in the day demolished a Palestinian’s home that is at the center of an anti-expulsion campaign in East Jerusalem
