  • Liberation of Jerusalem
    Liberation of Jerusalem On November 29, 1947, it was decided in the UN Partition Plan that Jerusalem would be under international control. However, when the War of Independence broke out, both sides – the Jews and the Arabs – tried to take control of the city. The Arab forces blocked the passage to Jerusalem to Jews, and cut off the water supply to the city. Only convoys of armored vehicles succeeded, at a heavy cost in human lives, in breaking through to the city and bringing supplies to its residents. On May 14, 1948, upon the departure of the British from the country, the Israeli forces began to take over compounds held by the Mandatory government. On May 18, the Arab Legion reached Jerusalem and entered the Old City. On May 19, a Palmach force managed to enter the Jewish Quarter through Zion Gate and bring supplies and reinforcements, but on the next day the Arab troops took control of the Zion Gate area again, and the siege on the Jewish Quarter resumed. On May 28, the Jewish Quarter fell into the hands of the Jordanians, its defenders were taken prisoner and its synagogues were demolished. On June 1, 1948, Burma Road was opened, and the siege on Jerusalem began to weaken. Jerusalem was divided for 19 years; Israel held the western part of the city, while Jordan held its eastern part, containing the Old City, including the Temple Mount and the Western Wall. Mount Scopus – the site of Hadassah Hospital, the Hebrew University and the British military cemetery – remained an enclave under Israeli control in the eastern part of the city.

Quamar Mishirqi-Assad of Haqel: In Defense of Human Rights, Hagit Ofran of Peace Now, Yehuda Shaul of Breaking the Silence and Adv. Shlomy Zachary of the Yesh Din Legal Team. This publication was supported by the Royal Norwegian Embassy. The views expressed in the report are B’Tselem and Kerem Navot’s, and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Norwegian government. In compliance with the law passed by the Israeli Knesset that seeks to equate the receipt of international funding with disloyalty, please note that B’Tselem was 69% funded by foreign state entities in 2019. These entities are listed on the website of the Israeli Registrar of Associations and elsewhere. Be that as it may be, we remain loyal to the struggle for human rights, freedom and democracy, and to an end to the occupation. Kerem Navot proudly acknowledges that the majority of our funding for 2020 was granted by European entities that support human rights. We are honored to partner with these entities, and are proud that they deem us partners whose work is worthy of their support.
