Condemnation of murder of Palestinian farmer Suleiman Hammad

Friends of the Earth International condemns the February 8, 2017, murder of 85-year-old Palestinian farmer Suleiman Hammad, who was run over by an Israeli settler near Al-Khader Village. The statement highlights the systematic confiscation of land in Al-Khader, where 85.5% of the village area (Area C) is under full Israeli control and an apartheid wall isolates 562 hectares of territory. The organization calls for international action to stop violations of the Right to Life for Palestinian farmers and the protection of environmental defenders resisting land confiscation.

• On February 8, 2017, 85-year-old Palestinian farmer and La Vía Campesina member Suleiman Hammad was killed after being run over by an Israeli settler while walking to his land near Al-Khader Village.
• In Al-Khader, a town where agriculture employs 35% of the workforce, Israeli authorities have confiscated land for settlements and bypass roads; Area C, under full Israeli control, makes up 85.5% of the village area.
• An apartheid wall extending 4.35km into Al-Khader lands isolates 5620 dunums (562 hectares) of territory, primarily consisting of agricultural, forested, or open land used for income by local families.
