<p>Israeli occupation forces summoned the father of a
six-year-old child from the city of Jerusalem for
interrogation yesterday evening after accusing the child
of throwing a juice carton at occupation forces.</p>
<p>The child, named Qais Firas Obaid from the East
Jerusalem neighbourhood of Issawiya was stopped by
Israeli occupation forces yesterday after he allegedly
threw a carton at them, soldiers told him to provide
them with his mum’s ID card. They then return to him
home and issued a summons for his father, ordering him
to come to the city’s interrogation centre at 8am today.</p>
<p>The case comes a day after another child, Muhammad
Rabi’ Elayyan, aged just four years old, was <a
href="https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20190730-jerusalem-israel-summons-4-year-old-palestinian-for-interrogation/">summoned</a>
by Israeli forces for allegedly throwing stones at
police vehicles.</p>
<p>Israel Police yesterday denied summoning Muhammad
saying they had only called his father in for
questioning, contrary to pictures and video images
showing the child carrying the summons.</p>
<p>Last week, a report <a
href="https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20190724-report-israel-killed-16-palestinian-children-since-start-of-2019/">released</a>
by Defence for Children International-Palestine
(DCIP) revealed that Israel had killed 16 Palestinian
children since the start of 2019.</p>
<p>East Jerusalem, like the rest of
internationally-recognised Palestinian territory close
by in the West Bank, has been undergoing a period of
tension in recent months in particular, due to the
demolition of entire Palestinian neighbourhoods and the
occupation of homes belonging to Palestinian families by
Jewish settlers.</p>
<p>The continued construction of settlements on
Palestinian land and the destruction of Palestinian
homes and villages is in direct violation of
international law, and makes the peace process and the
creation of a Palestinian state increasingly difficult.
The occupation of East Jerusalem, which the Palestinians
regard as their future state capital, is particularly
detrimental to the two-state solution, as is the
encirclement of Palestinian towns and cities by
encroaching Jewish settlements in the West Bank which is
causing many to speculate on the likelihood of a future
state.</p>
