Israel’s Supreme Court Suspends Palestinians’ Eviction, For Now
JERUSALEM, Israel – Israel’s Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that four Palestinian families at risk of being evicted from their homes in the contentious eastern Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah will be allowed to stay, for now.
The high court ruled that the families, which includes about 70 people, can remain in their homes until Israel’s Justice Ministry examined the Palestinian’s claim to the property – a process that could take several years.
For the time being, the families will be recognized as protected tenants and will pay a symbolic $62 per month to a trust until the property’s ownership is settled.
