Members of Congress are calling on the State Department for an “immediate halt to all demolitions and property seizures in Wadi Fuqin,” a West Bank village under threat by the expansion of the illegal Israeli settlement of Betar Illit.
On August 31, Israeli declared that almost 1000 acres belonging to the villages of Jab’a and Wadi Fukin would become state land, marking the largest attempt in decades to expropriate territory in the West Bank.
