Israel’s decision to evict Palestinian families from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah has been termed ‘unjust’ by Israeli Parliament Knesset’s senior member Mossi Raz.
He said, “We have to reverse this decision and let Palestinians stay in the place they have lived for the past seventy years”.
Raz said that the solution to war is peace, which is why the two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict must be considered despite not being easy to achieve.
“First and foremost, we have to stop the fight. Both sides have to stop the fight right now,” he said.
