Israel Asks U.S. to Encourage Palestinians to Accept Jerusalem Property Compromise
(Ha'aretz) Ben Samuels - Israeli officials have asked the Biden administration to support the compromise suggested Monday by Israel's Supreme Court in the high-profile property case in eastern Jerusalem's Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood. "The compromise presented by the justices is good for the Palestinian residents at the site and could get them down from their tree," an Israeli diplomatic source said. Another Israeli source said the White House realizes that the decision is not in the hands of Israeli politicians but rather the judiciary, which he said is "independent."
