Israeli authorities have notified residents in the village of Qalandiya, north of occupied East Jerusalem, that two apartment buildings and agricultural lands will be demolished to make way for a new waste incineration plant. The project, managed by a development company owned by the Jerusalem Municipality, will involve confiscating about 32 acres of land and rerouting part of the Separation Barrier to accommodate the facility within Jerusalem's boundaries. Advocacy groups and local residents have condemned the move, citing it as another instance of dispossession and violation of international law. Palestinian families affected by the demolition are preparing to launch a legal challenge after being given 20 days to evacuate their homes.
