As a lengthy legal battle ends, a Palestinian family braces for eviction from Jerusalem home
Associated PressJERUSALEM — Few places in Jerusalem speak of the larger conflict being waged over the city more than the apartment of 68-year-old Nora Ghaith-Sub Laban. The Ghaith-Sub Laban case is not a dispute over a single property, advocates say, but part of a wider effort by Israeli settlers, with government backing, to cement Jewish control over the contested city, especially the Old City, home to Jerusalem’s most important holy sites. Arieh King, a settler leader and deputy mayor of Jerusalem, described the Ghaith-Sub Laban family as “squatters” and the case as a straightforward real estate dispute. “The Jewish settlers tried and failed time and time again but this time, they’ve succeeded,” said Aviv Tatarsky, of Ir Amim, an anti-settlement advocacy group. ”Palestinians have to keep on defending themselves and the battles never end.” The Israeli police said that authorities “understand the emotions involved” but are “dedicated to upholding the rule of law” and enforcing the eviction.
