Israeli security forces secure an excavator after Israel ordered the demolition of Palestinian sheds in the annexed Arab east Jerusalem neighbourhood of Silwan, on October 29, 2014. The United Nations Security Council is holding an emergency meeting to discuss Israel’s pledge to build more than 1,000 new settler homes in east Jerusalem, angering Palestinians who warned it could trigger an “explosion” of violence.
