Javier Solana, European Union Foreign Policy Chief, urged Israel on Wednesday evening to end the demolition of Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem.

The Ramattan News Agency reported that Solana stated that this policy is racist, and stressed on the necessity to avoid any escalation in the Holy City.

He said that he is concerned about the recent reports of home demolitions in Jerusalem, and added that such violations threaten the efforts of the International Community to restart comprehensive and credible peace talks that would lead to a lasting and comprehensive peace deal.

The statements of Solana came while Israel is ongoing with the demolition of Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem.

On Wednesday, Israel demolished nine homes after claiming that they were built without construction permits.
