- Several Palestinian families who have lived in the Sheikh Jarra district of East Jerusalem for more than 60 years are at risk of immediate eviction following a court ruling that the land has historically had Jewish owners.
- An Israeli law allows Jews to claim land in East Jerusalem owned by Jews before the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, but the law is criticized for not giving Palestinians the same right to claim land in Israeli territory.
- Peace and leftist groups accuse settler movements and nationalists of trying to ethnically purge the predominantly Palestinian Sheikh Jarrah, but the settler movement says they are only acting in accordance with the law.
