Finding David: Unlawful Settlement Tourism in Jerusalem’s so-called ‘City of David’
Al-Haq’s report condemns the illegal ‘City of David’ settlement in Silwan, Jerusalem, built on appropriated Palestinian land and aimed at erasing Palestinian heritage. The report highlights violations of international law, including the destruction of Palestinian cultural property, misleading archaeological practices, and the role of corporate funding in sustaining the settlement. It details how the settlement uses false narratives, funded by billionaire Roman Abramovich, and profits from tourism based on these misleading claims. The report calls for an end to these unlawful activities and for accountability under international law.
