The UN Middle East peace envoy Tor Wennesland demanded Wednesday that Israeli authorities end the displacement of Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem.
Wennesland's call at a UN Security Council briefing came after Israeli forces demolished a Palestinian home earlier Wednesday that is at the centre of an anti-expulsion campaign in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.
The UN's Middle East envoy is warning that forcible displacement, demolitions and settlement activity are weakening prospects for peace.
