Sheikh Jarrah 1 & 2 Plans for the Ohr Somayach Yeshiva (also, “Glassman Yeshiva”) and a privately promoted office building – Two Israeli plans for buildings to be constructed on a lot of roughly 5 dunams on the southwest edge of the neighborhood, next to the Green Line, on the Palestinian side. The plan for the Ohr Somayach Yeshiva (Plan No. 68858) calls for construction of an eleven-story building with eight levels above ground and three below, including a dormitory for hundreds of students and housing for faculty. The plan was submitted by the Ohr Somayach Institutions, to which the Israel Land Authority has already allotted land without a transparent tender process, and approved for deposit by the District Planning and Building Committee in July 2017. In the master plan for the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, the lot is designated for public buildings to serve neighborhood residents. The plan for the six-story office building (Plan No. 499699), submitted by private Israeli entrepreneurs, was deposited in April 2018, and in August 2018, the Local Planning and Building Committee recommended it for approval by the District Committee. The plan was approved in December 2018. 3 & 5 Plans for new construction in Um Haroun (Sheikh Jarrah) necessitating the eviction of Palestinian families – Two plans for new residential buildings that will necessitate the demolition of existing Palestinian homes: Plan No. 14151 for construction of a three-story building with three residential units and Plan No.

  • Jerusalem & Its Changing Boundaries
    Jerusalem & Its Changing Boundaries INTRODUCTION JANUARY 2018 When US President Trump, ignoring the history of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and of the international consensus on Jerusalem, triggered a storm in the Middle East on 6 December 2017 by announcing the US’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and his intention to move the US embassy to the city from Tel Aviv, he notably stressed that this did not represent a change in US policy on the future borders of Jerusalem, which would remain subject to negotiations among the parties involved. While the international rejection of Trump’s statement on Jerusalem – clearly reflected in the votes in the UN Security Council (14-1) and the General Assembly (128-9) – was nearly unanimous, his declaration has given “support and comfort to the Government of Israel in its pathologic denial of the occupation, of the Palestinian narrative, and of the simple fact that Jerusalem’s status is a matter of dispute, not merely betweenIsrael and the Palestinians, but with respect to the entire international community.”1 Palestinian fears that Trump’s statement will induce the Israeli government to try even more aggressively to demonstrate – and do everything to consolidate – its “exclusive” control over the city (via settlement expansion, property destruction, encroaches on Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, etc.) were clearly justified as the latest Israeli legislative move has shown. On 2 January 2018, the Knesset passed a bill (an amendment to the Basic Law on Jerusalem) that requires a special two-thirds majority vote (as opposed to the previous absolute majority) to relinquish any part of Jerusalem to the Palestinians under a future peace accord, which effectively means that Jerusalem will never be on the negotiating table.

  • Jerusalem Syndrome, Which Can Be Triggered by a Visit to the City
    Jerusalem, showing municipal borders and neighbourhoods Metropolitan Disorders—10 yonatan mendel NEW JERUSALEM ncyclopædias of psychology cite a type of religious psychosis known as the Jerusalem Syndrome, which can be triggered by a visit to the city. Symptoms can include bellow- ing liturgical songs, delivering moralistic sermons and an Eintensified concern with cleanliness and ritual purity. Though similar reactions have been recorded at other holy cities, notably Rome and Mecca, Jerusalem holds the record for this psychopathology.1 From the point of view of any normal urban logic, however, the city itself appears crazier still. Its boundaries extend far beyond its core population centres, encompassing dozens of villages, barren hilltops, orchards and tracts of desert, as well as new-build suburbs with scant relation to the historical city; in the north, they stretch up, like a long middle finger, nearly to Ramallah, to take in the old Qalandia airport, some 10 kilometres from the Old City walls, and bulge down almost to Bethlehem in the south. Jerusalem’s former Deputy Mayor, Meron Benvenisti, has said of these monstrously extended city limits: I’ve reached the point that when someone says ‘Jerusalem’ I am very cynical about it. This is a term that has been totally emptied of its content. Today there is no geographic concept called ‘Jerusalem’, and instead I suggest using a new term, ‘Jermudin’, which is the territory stretched from Jericho to Modi’in. Someone decided to rub the hills that have no connection to Jerusalem with holy oil, and today we need to deal with a ‘Jerusalem’ region, which is unmanageable and which is held by force.2 But if the cityscape of Jerusalem has no decipherable urban logic, what rationality has shaped its growth? In Benvenisti’s view, ‘it all started from the post-1967 municipal borders and the famous principle of maximum new left review 81 may june 2013 35 36 nlr 81 square kilometres of land and minimum number of Arabs.’3 There is much to be said for this hypothesis; but we will have to begin a little earlier than that.

  • Fact Sheet Regarding the Case of Sheikh Jarrah
    FACT SHEET Page | 1 REGARDING THE CASE OF SHEIKH JARRAH – THE OCCUPIED JERUSALEM Prepared by: Nida’a Yousef, Nasser Thabet Edited by: Hassan Imran, Hiba Birat Revised by: Rawan Husseini, Ihsan Adel Translated by: Asma Louzon, Maryam Alqam, Kerim Assaf Translation Assistant: Saja Abuammouneh English version edited by: Ahmed Almassri, Summia El-Awawdeh Special thanks to the attorneys Hosni Abu Hussein and Sami Irsheed from Jerusalem - The lawyers of the Sheikh Jarrah residents case before the Israeli courts All rights reserved © Law for Palestine - United Kingdom May 2021 Executive Summary: This last week the world bore witness to an escalation of tension in the Sheikh Jarrah Page | 2 neighborhood- a Palestinian area located north of the Old City of the occupied East Jerusalem- due to the demands of Israeli settlers to forcibly evict Palestinian families who live in the neighborhood. As a result, many civilians have been either injured or arrested and tension in the entire Palestinian territories is at an all-time high. Over the past few years, a number of Palestinian families have been forcedly evicted from this neighborhood, and more than 27 Palestinian families, approximately 500 persons, are also under threat; these families are at risk of dispossession and forced eviction. It is obvious that the facts documented in this paper bear out the Israeli occupation’s true intentions; supported by their courts and discriminatory laws, the occupation is seeking to transfer ownership of these homes from their original owners to Israeli settlers. According to the legal analysis of the rules of international law, Jordanian laws, Ottoman documents, and Israeli laws, we find ourselves facing a situation of forceful land usurpation aided by discriminatory policies and laws.
