A demolished home in the West Bank village of Al Walaja, March 18, 2018. The village has faced repeated demolitions of homes carried put by the Israeli forces. ollowing the 1967 war, Israel annexed Walajeh’s land to Jerusalem — but not its residents. The vast majority of them are registered as West Bank Palestinians without Israeli residency rights part of the reason it is nearly impossible for the villagers of Walajeh to obtain building permits from the Jerusalem municipality.
