(NGO Monitor) On Feb. 10, 2021, the Jerusalem District Court upheld an October 2020 Jerusalem Magistrate Court decision requiring a number of Sheikh Jarrah residents to vacate properties they are living in. This case has been litigated for over 50 years in multiple Israeli courts. According to the Israel Supreme Court, the land in question "was owned by Chief Rabbi Avraham Ashkenazi and Chief Rabbi Meir Orbach until the War of Independence [1948], after they purchased it in 1875 from its Arab owners." According to a 1979 High Court decision, as in the case of any tenant living on someone else's property, residents were required to pay rent to the organizations that currently own the properties. Their failure to do so, along with instances of illegal building and illegally renting properties to others, resulted in the current legal proceedings against them. In a 1982 court case, a number of residents agreed that two Israeli non-profits were the legal land owners.2021-05-10 00:00:00Full Article
