ጥhe group 'Rabbis for Human Rights' has called on Netanyahu to halt the
demolitions, saying the policy runs counter to international law and Jewish
tradition. The group wrote a letter of protest to Netanyahu, after he
ordered that more than 400 Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank be
destroyed. The newly-built houses were funded by the European Union. Israel
says the pre-fabricated bungalows have been built illegally and therefore
should be razed. Israel’s house demolitions have already sparked an
international outcry. Last month, the UN warned that the policy is making
vulnerable Palestinian families homeless

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the demolition of
some 400 newly-built Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli media say Netanyahu issued the order after a UK daily reported the
EU had funded the construction of the Palestinian homes. A spokesman for
the European Union defended construction o the homes for Palestinians. The
office of the European Union's representative in the West Bank and Gaza
Strip said Palestinians have the right to live and build schools in the
West Bank and have economic development there. The European Union, along
with international bodies, has often criticized the Israeli regime for
building thousands of settlement units in the occupied Palestinian lands.
