Palestinian official: Israel to demolish 900 houses in Jerusalem

"The plan was given to a private firm to demolish the houses and building housing units and settlements in the Old City in Jerusalem," said Hatem Abdul-Qader, Jerusalem affairs' commissioner in President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party.

"The plan is based on reducing the Palestinian presence in Jerusalem," Abdul-Qader told Voice of Palestine radio, adding that Israel "is terrified from the demographic situation 42 years after it has occupied the city."

    Would that be ok? Given that they pay the "market price" that is.

    Legal, it's the most plausible explanation to date. I really think you nailed it.
