Israeli Courts Order More than 50 Palestinians Expelled from Homes in Silwan and Sheikh Jarrah
The Israeli Supreme Court has ordered the forced expulsion of over 50 Palestinians from their homes in East Jerusalem's Silwan and Sheikh Jarrah neighborhoods, as part of a broader policy facilitating Jewish settlement. Recent rulings favor settler groups, with significant implications for families like the Shehadehs and Diabs, who have long-standing claims to their homes. This surge in expulsions coincides with escalated Israeli actions in the region since the Gaza conflict began in October 2023, reflecting a systematic effort to alter the demographic landscape of Jerusalem.
