UK minister condemns Israeli demolition of Palestinian activist’s home

The British minister of state for the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia, condemned the demolition of Palestinian activist Fakhri Abu Diab's home in occupied East Jerusalem.

"Israel must halt this policy now," Tariq Ahmad said in a post on X, referring to the widespread Israeli practice of demolishing Palestinian homes.

Diab's family was forcefully evicted from the home they lived in for 38 years.

"If they demolish our homes, they will not destroy our resolve. We will remain steadfast in our land," Abu Diab said.
