(For their names, see annexed list.) It should be noted that the total number of Palestinians expelled by the occupying Power, Israel, has reached 69 since December 1987, the beginning of the <u>intifadah<\/u>, excluding the aforementioned expulsion orders.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;margin-left:20px;\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre; font-size:smaller\">\t<\/span>This action comes at a time when the Israeli occupying Power has intensified its aggression and human rights violations against the Palestinian people living under the illegal military occupation. Such violations reflected themselves in prolonged curfew days, stepping up settlement activities and, to top it all, just yesterday, the Israeli Government agreed that two thirds of the publicly financed houses budgeted for the year 1992 would be built in the occupied territory of the West Bank and Gaza, including Jerusalem.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;margin-left:20px;\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre;
