3,152 people signed the petition
Since 2004, Israel has demolished 436 Palestinian houses in East Jerusalem, leaving 1,708 people homeless, according to the Israeli rights group B'Tselem.
Israeli authorities have also revoked the status of 14,084 Palestinian Jerusalemites since 1967, no longer permitting them to live in the city.
There are around 360,882 Palestinians in Jerusalem, or 38 percent of the city's population.
Israel has occupied East Jerusalem since 1967 and formally annexed the area in 1980 after passing the 'Jerusalem Law'.
Jerusalem is one of the key final status issues in any future peace agreement.

Jerusalemite citizen, Azzam Afifi, demolished his house, on Wednesday, to avoid his arrest or pay fine, in context of the occupation's continuing restriction policy against Jerusalemites. Wadi Halawa information center quoted Ashraf Al-Halwani, the son of the house owner Rifat, as saying that Israeli-controlled municipality teams sealed the house with red wax in 1997. Bulldozers of the Israeli municipality of occupied Jerusalem Tuesday demolished a building and an animal barn in the East Jerusalem area, according to local sources. http://www.qudsmedia.com/en/?p=2287
