Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung to publish a book on settlements in Hebron

Mr. Mikhael Proting, Head of the German Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, announced that his Organization is preparing to publish a book on settlements in Hebron and the suffering caused to Palestinians by the presence of settlers in the Old City. Moreover, the Organization is currently preparing a study on water and settlements in the OPTs.

 

Mr. Proting was speaking at Hebron Municipality during a meeting with Hebron Mayor Khaled Osaily. Osaily welcomed Mr. Proting and his accompanying delegation and thanked them for the support they show towards Palestinians and for believing in their legitimate rights guaranteed by all international treaties and laws. Osaily underlined the importance of investigating and monitoring conditions in the OPTs and making them known to the international public opinion.

Osaily also spoke in detail about Hebron and its Old City. “Hebron bleeds daily due to policies implemented by occupation authorities against Palestinians in Southern Hebron, the Old City and especially in the vicinity of the Ibrahimi Mosque. Settlers continuously attack Palestinians and not one day goes by without attacks and provocations against Palestinians heading to their homes, schools, shops or to pray at the Ibrahimi Mosque. Settlers living in the Old City are hardliners and extremists and no final settlement can be reached if they stay inside the territories occupied in 1967. Hebron, for example, suffers from oppression, closures and pressure exerted on Palestinians so as to push them to leave their homes under the pretext of protecting a handful of settlers who have occupied Palestinian homes by force. It is impossible to coexist with such hardliners”, Osaily concluded.

Osaily also called the visiting delegation to thoroughly investigate conditions in Palestine in general and in Hebron in particular. Such an investigation would unveil horrifying facts which will shock the free world given the amount of violations and transgressions against Palestinians and their land. Rights guaranteed in international laws and treaties are violated day and night in Palestine, he added.

Mr. Proting assured that his organization is non-biased and shall do its utmost possible to unveil the truth and to document conditions in Hebron. Moreover, it shall provide its findings to all relevant parties. These findings shall cover several aspects and shall constitute a historical reference on settlement activities in Hebron. He also promised to seek German cities interested in cooperating with Hebron and in building partnerships and signing twinning agreements with the city in order to improve services provided there.
