East Jerusalem: Ongoing Displacement and Settler Takeovers
Settlers continue to move into Palestinian neighborhoods in East Jerusalem, backed by Israeli authorities, leading to severe hardships for Palestinian residents. Families face eviction through legal battles favoring settlers, denial of building permits, home demolitions, and inadequate services. Testimonies from the Abu ‘Asab family in the Old City and the a-Sabagh family in Sheikh Jarrah highlight the emotional and financial toll, as they are forcibly removed from homes they've lived in for decades, left with nowhere else to go. These actions aim to Judaize Jerusalem, exacerbating tensions and displacement in the region.
