RAMALLAH, West Bank — Palestinians’ eyes are set on the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in East Jerusalem, where 28 Jerusalemite families are facing the risk of eviction and forced displacement from their houses. Israeli settlement organizations claim to own the land where the houses were built.
On May 4, Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah faced Israeli abuses and arrests for the third night in a row, while they wait for the appeal they submitted to the Supreme Court against the decision of the Jerusalem District Court to evacuate them.
