A Policy of Discrimination: Land Expropriation, Planning and Building in East Jerusalem
Since 1967, Israel has pursued policies in East Jerusalem that systematically discriminate against Palestinians in land, housing, and development, favoring Jewish settlement to consolidate control. These include land expropriations, restrictive planning for Palestinian neighborhoods, and unequal housing investments, leading to overcrowding and housing shortages for Palestinians. Such policies violate international laws prohibiting racial discrimination, ensuring the right to housing, and forbidding permanent changes or settlement in occupied territories.
