The EU called on Israel earlier on Wednesday to give up threats to demolish about 90 Palestinian houses in East Jerusalem, reported World bulletin.
"If implemented, the demolition would deprive more than 1,000 Palestinians of their homes and would be the largest destruction of Palestinian houses in East Jerusalem since 1967," the Czech presidency of the EU said in a statement issued on behalf of the bloc's 27 member states.
"The EU reminds Israel of its obligations under the Roadmap and international law. Demolition of houses in this sensitive area threatens the viability of a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement, in conformity with international law," the statement said.
US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton described the destruction of homes in Jerusalem during her visit to Ramallah last week as "unhelpful" and violating the roadmap obligations.
A confidential EU report slammed Israeli policies in East Jerusalem stressing that it hinders Palestinian existence in the occupied city.
The report accuses Israel of illegally annexing East Jerusalem by expanding Jewish settlements, demolishing Palestinian homes and installing roadblocks.
The report also stated that the Israeli policies in East Jerusalem, including constructing new Jewish settlements, the Annexation Wall, demolishing homes ad discriminating against the Palestinians, hinders the Palestinian development and existence and solidifies the Israeli presence in East Jerusalem.
