Khan al-Ahmar youth stage sit-in near Israeli president’s home

A group of Palestinian schoolchildren from the occupied West Bank have travelled to the Israeli president’s residence to protest against the imminent demolition of their village. Khan al-Ahmar, which has captured international attention for its years-long legal battle with Israeli authorities over its survival, is set be demolished after the Israeli military arrived on September 23 and handed notices to residents, ordering them to demolish their rudimentary shacks and structures and leave by October 1. At least 18 children from the Bedouin village, aged 12 or younger, were accompanied by Jewish-American activists and travelled in three Israeli-licensed cars to President Reuven Rivlin’s residence in Jerusalem.
