Isreal is trying to evict Palestinian families from Sheikh Jarrah. Here's a timeline of how that came to be.
In 1948, when Israel was established, Israelis displaced over 700 000 Palestinians, known as the Nakba (catastrophe).
In 1956, Palestinian refugee families moved to the Karm Ak-Ja'ouni area of Sheikh Jarrah in East Jerusalem which was under Jordan's control at the time.
In 1967, when Isreal annexed large swathes of the West Bank —including East Jerusalem— Sheikh Jarrah was put under full Israeli control.
In 1970, the Israeli government enacted the Legal and Administrative Matters Law, which exclusively allows the Jewish population in East Jerusalem before the establishment of the State in 1948.
In 1972, the Israeli Custodian General used this law to transfer ownership of Sheikh Jarrah to two Jewish committees. Those committees sold the land to Nahalat Shimin International, a settler organization in the 1990s that has been trying to evict residents ever since.
In 2009, 67 people were evicted from Sheikh Jarrah by the Israeli police.
Since then, Nahalat Shimon International has been transparent about its plan to evict the rest of the Palestinians from this area to clear space for Israeli settlements.
Israeli courts have ruled that by May 2, 2021, four Palestinian families will have to leave this area, followed by four more in August.
