Why are Palestinians losing their homes in Jerusalem?
And Jordan controlled East Jerusalem, becoming responsible for the Palestinian refugees who had moved there.
Palestinians, however, do not have equal power to recover property they lost in West Jerusalem, or elsewhere in Israel, which under a 1950 law was declared abandoned and moved under state control - although, they can claim compensation. Some Palestinians were given "protected tenant status", including through an agreement, in 1982, involving 17 Sheikh Jarrah families.
In the early 1990s, the families stopped paying rent and the Jewish trusts began legal proceedings against them.
