Arab Lawyers condemn occupation of orient house

The Arab Lawyers Union (ALU) voiced worry and deep anxiety over the Israeli occupation of the Orient House in Jerusalem and stealing documents pertaining to the Palestinian people on Friday in a flagrant challenge to Arab, Islamic and Christian feelings.

In a statement issued on Sunday, the ALU denounced the Israeli measures and considered them a new escalation of Zionist plans that aimed at controlling Arab Jerusalem in violation of International resolutions and relevant conventions, especially UN Security Council and General Assembly resolutions which did not recognize Israeli practices meant to change the identity of the Arab city.
