Newspapers Review: Palestinian killed by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank highlight of dailies
RAMALLAH, Monday, February 1, 2021 (WAFA) – The Israeli occupation army killing yesterday morning of a young Palestinian in the south of the West Bank was highlighted on the front page of the three Palestinian Arabic dailies published today.
Al-Quds daily said that in addition to the killing of the Palestinian under the pretext of attempting to stab soldiers, the Israeli occupation authorities also ordered the eviction of Palestinians from a community in Masafer Yatta also in the south of the West Bank and carried out several detention raids across the occupied territories.
Palestinian officials welcomed recent moves by the Joe Biden administration in which he reversed some of the previous administration’s policies that were seen as strongly biased toward Israel.
