The Palestinian Authority demolished illegally-built homes in Jericho today, according to reports. The PA's enforcement action did not attract the international condemnation that typically follows similar Israeli demolitions, the report notes.
A single source reports that the Palestinian Authority demolished illegally-built homes in Jericho today. The report highlights a perceived double standard: similar Israeli enforcement operations routinely draw international criticism and media coverage, while the PA's action went largely unremarked. No further details—such as the number of homes, the legal basis, or the PA's own enforcement protocols—are available from the source. As The Zioneer has previously reported (June 15, June 23), Israeli Civil Administration forces regularly demolish illegal Palestinian structures in the seam zone, a practice that often sparks condemnation from foreign governments and NGOs. This incident appears to be a rare instance of the PA enforcing its own building codes in Area A, though the lack of corroborating reports leaves the scope and context unconfirmed.
