An Israeli court has ordered the eviction of Palestinian family in a deeply contested neighborhood of east Jerusalem
An Israeli court on Monday ordered the eviction of a Palestinian family in a contested neighborhood of east Jerusalem, the latest in a legal saga that has come to symbolize the conflicting claims to the holy city. The Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood has been the focus of a long-running battle between government-backed Israeli settlers and longtime Palestinian residents.
Israel considers the entire city its capital, while the Palestinians seek east Jerusalem, home to the city's most sensitive holy sites, as the capital of their future independent state. Nahalat Shimon is trying to seize the property under an Israeli law allowing Jews to reclaim properties that were Jewish before Israel was established in 1948. Jordan controlled the area between 1948 and the 1967 war.
