Misbar’s Analysis
The lawyer of the families of Sheikh Jarrah Sami Rashid denied the circulating news to Misbar. Mr.Rashid told Misbar that there had been no new evacuation decisions related to the residential areas in Sheikh Jarrah and citizens' homes.
Palestinians are to be evicted from their property after the Israeli High Court of Justice recently ruled to expropriate land for what it calls public needs. The judgment authorized the takeover of a parking lot and car wash belonging to Palestinians in the neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah in occupied East Jerusalem in order to clear the area for a garden and a path next to a planned hotel.
Furthermore, Palestinian families living in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem rejected a Supreme Court compromise that would prevent them from being evicted from the homes they have lived in for several decades.
