Israel to seize Palestinian endowed properties in al-Quds

Israeli authorities issued on Sunday a precautionary order to confiscate Waqf lands, mosques, stores and buildings east of al-Quds ('East Jerusalem').

The al-Quds Center for Social and Economic Rights (JCSER) said the order includes the Alimelli Waqf, two mosques, a gas station and several buildings and stores.

The JCSER said Israeli authorities ordered Ziad Qawwas to evacuate their three dunams near the US Consulate in Nablus Street in the eastern part of the disputed city.

The center quoted Qawwas as saying the lands are registered as Islamic Waqf since 400 years. The Israeli Land Authority claims that the land is owned by it.
