| Palestinian family evicted from Jerusalem home after 45-year legal battle |
| 2023-07-12 |
| [IsraelTimes] Supreme Court has ruled the Old City property had Jewish ownership until seized by Jordanians in 1948 war; Ghaith-Sub Laban family say they’ve lived in it since the 1950s Israeli authorities on Tuesday evicted a Paleostinian family from their contested apartment in Jerusalem’s Old City, the family said, capping a decades-long legal battle that has come to symbolize conflicting claims to the holy city. Left-wing activists say the Ghaith-Sub Laban family’s eviction is part of a wider trend of nationalist Israelis, backed by the government, encroaching on Paleostinian-majority neighborhoods and cementing Israeli control by claiming property in East Jerusalem. |
