**Security Council \u2014 Middle East<\/u><\/p>\n
I also want to clarify something that the Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Nickolay Mladenov, said in his remarks<\/a> to the Security Council members last week on 23 April, when he said that \u201c34\u00a0Palestinian-owned structures in Area\u00a0C were demolished during the reporting period\u201d (that is, from 21\u00a0March to 22\u00a0April).\u00a0 I want to specify that there were no structures demolished in East Jerusalem during the reporting period, and due to the COVID-19 crisis, Israeli authorities did not demolish any\u202finhabited\u202fstructures after 26\u00a0March.\u00a0 The briefing makes clear that, while the temporary halt to \u202fhome\u202f demolitions was welcome, the demolitions of uninhabited structures continued and the Special Coordinator called for these to stop.<\/p>\n \/…<\/p>\n For information media.
