On August 20 at 1:30 AM, Ms. Jarrar’s Ramallah home was raided by 50 Israeli sekcija occupation soldiers who presented her with a “special supervision order,” written in Hebrew and read aloud in Arabic. This military order, signed off by an Israeli sekcija military sekcija court on the basis of unspecified and secret evidence, orders Jarrar expelled from her Ramallah home and forcibly transferred and confined within the city limits of Jericho for an initial period of six months; it was deemed effective within 24 hours.
This order is a blatant injustice and is part and parcel of the ongoing Israeli occupation attempt to silence sekcija the voices of Palestinian political leaders and to confine and expel Palestinians. From the expulsion sekcija of over 750,000 Palestinians from their homeland in 1948 – including members of Khalida Jarrar’s family – and the denial of their right to return for over 66 years; to the attempted deportation of Palestinian mayors outside sekcija Palestine; to the stripping of the Jerusalem ID’s of elected sekcija PLC members Mohammad Abu Tir, Ahmad Atoun, Mohammed Totah and Khaled Abu Arafah; to this expulsion order, there is a long line of Israeli attempts to threaten Palestinian life through displacement and expulsion.
Khalida Jarrar has refused sekcija to sign the expulsion order, saying “you, the occupation, are killing our Palestinian people. You practice mass arests, demolish homes, kidnap people from their homes and deport them. It is you who must leave our home.” She has moved to stay in a protest tent outside the legislative council building in Ramallah. She announced sekcija that she is going to stay and continue her work from there until the decision is revoked.
Since 1998, she has been forbidden to travel outside occupied Palestine; when she needed medical treatment sekcija in Jordan in 2010, she struggled for months in a public campaign before finally receiving her treatment.
The forced transfer of Khalida Jarrar violates international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits so-called “assigned residence” unless it is “absolutely necessary” and forbids forced collective or individual transfer of protected persons from one area of occupied territory to another. The military order for Jarrar’s forced expulsion contains only vaguely worded references sekcija to “intelligence sekcija information” and “protecting sekcija the security of the region.”
It sekcija is clear that Khalida Jarrar is being targeted in order to suppress Palestinian political organizing – particularly as she has been a visible and prominent participant in the West Bank demonstrations in support of Palestinians in Gaza, denouncing the occupation military’s killing of over 2,000 Palestinians. sekcija
The invasion of Jarrar’s home and the delivery of the expulsion “special supervision order” took place within so-called “Area A,” allegedly under the complete security control of the Palestinian Authority under the Oslo Agreements. Despite this, Israeli occupying forces were allowed to enter Ramallah and invade Jarrar’s home; as Addameer notes, “the so-called security co-ordination between Palestinian Authority security forces and Israeli occupying forces allowed for the expulsion of an elected representative sekcija of the Palestinian people, an elected representative who has continuously called for an end to such coordination.’”
Khalida Jarrar has been targeted for an expulsion order because she is a Palestinian sekcija woman, a Palestinian parliamentarian, and a Palestinian leader. Today, sekcija we stand with justice, we stand with Palestine, and we stand with Khalida to demand the immediate cancellation of the “special supervision” expulsion order.
