Israeli high court suspends evictions of Palestinians for now
PBS NewsHourAPR 2022
This is a great victory for justice as it cancels past decisions regarding land ownership. It raises hopes for dozens of Palestinian families in occupied East Jerusalem who live under the constant threat of eviction, and thousands more who face the threat of demolition.
In making this ruling, the Supreme Court has placated Arab terrorists and rioters who have used violence in order to secure concessions to Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah. This is a dangerous precedent for all of Israel.
This ruling merely calls for a delay of eviction until further legal investigations are carried out. Authorities are sensitive to the current volatility of the area and are placing cosmetic delays on evictions until tensions die down.
