Palestinians on the West Bank are warning Israel, and its western backers, that a third Intifada, or uprising, will explode against the ethnic cleansing of East Jerusalem by Israel.
A leaked report from the European Union, written late last year, has accused the Israeli state of attempting to annex East Jerusalem.

Head of the Islamic Higher Committee, Sheikh Ekrema Sabri, warned of the outbreak of a third intifada in defence of occupied Jerusalem against Zionist campaigns of "transfer" and Judaization.From the Guardian
He said in a statement to the UAE-based al-Khalij newspaper on Friday that people's uprisings against oppression are spontaneous and that the Israeli occupation practices against the Palestinian people, in general, and occupied Jerusalem in particular are pushing towards explosion.
"Israeli 'facts on the ground' - including new settlements, construction of the barrier, discriminatory housing policies, house demolitions, restrictive permit regime and continued closure of Palestinian institutions - increase Jewish Israeli presence in East Jerusalem, weaken the Palestinian community in the city, impede Palestinian urban development and separate East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank," the report says.
