Israel refutes eviction
reports, assures PA that there will be no deportation of Palestinians
to Gaza.
Jordan condemned Israel on
Wednesday over an Israel Defense Forces order facilitating the
deportation of tens of thousands of Palestinian from the West Bank.
The order, though in
existence since 1969, was recently discussed in a Haaretz article.
According to the report, a
military order aimed at preventing infiltration was to come into
force, enabling the deportation of tens of thousands of Palestinians
from the West Bank, or their indictment on charges carrying prison
terms of up to seven years. Under the order, tens of thousands of
Palestinians will automatically become criminal offenders liable to
be severely punished.
