<p style="font-size:10pt;">Occupied Jerusalem, (PIC)&#8211; A  Jerusalemite delegation handed on Wednesday visiting British foreign  minister William Hague a letter from the Palestinian officials  threatened with expulsion from their native city in which they warned of  the grave impact of Israel&#8217;s expulsion policy pursued against the  Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The delegation highlighted the role  Britain could play in pressuring Israel to respect international  resolutions which demand it to withdraw from all occupied Palestinian  territories including east Jerusalem and protect the Palestinian  citizens&#8217; rights in the holy city.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The delegation also talked about the  aggravated suffering of Jerusalemite citizens as a result of Israel&#8217;s  escalation of its demolition of their homes and restrictions on their  lives, its protection of settlers&#8217; attacks on them and their property  especially in Silwan district and its persistence in settlement  activities.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Hague, for his part, stressed the need for  freezing settlement activities and affirmed that Britain believes as  all countries of the European union that a Palestinian state must be  established on the 1967 borders and east Jerusalem must be the capital  of the Palestinian people.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In the context of his visit to the  occupied Palestinian territories, Hague met with Palestinian activists  in the West Bank and Jerusalem and discused with them the issues of  Israel&#8217;s segregation wall and the humanitarian situation in Silwan  district in the holy city.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Haaretz newspaper opined yesterday that  Hague&#8217;s meeting with members of the popular committee against the  apartheid wall in Ramallah city was a surprising and unusual move and  reflected his solidarity with the anti-wall activities organized by this  committee.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The newspaper noted that the Israeli  foreign ministry expressed its dismay at such meetings which reflected  Britain&#8217;s support for the Palestinian struggle against the wall.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In a separate incident, the Israeli  government declared the suspension of all channels of its strategic  dialog with Britain unless the latter decided to amend its laws which  allow the arrest and prosecution of Israeli officials suspected of  committing war crimes against the Palestinians.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The Hebrew media stated that Israel  informed London about this decision during a meeting between some of its  security officials with Hague during his presence in the occupied  territories.</p>
