Jerusalem .- Hamdallah The Arab family has to share his home in the occupied Palestinian territories of East Jerusalem, with Jewish settlers who claim ownership, reports the Israeli newspaper Haaretz today. A court has granted the settlers the right to use one of the rooms and the front yard of the home, located in the enclave of Maaleh Zeitim within the Arab neighborhood of Ras al Amud and living a hundred Jewish settlers.
The Hamdallah have maintained a legal battle over the last eleven years with settlers financed by American millionaire Irving Moskowitz, who argue that bought the house two Jewish organizations who owned it before the 1948 war, after which the East Jerusalem was under Jordanian sovereignty.
The Israeli courts do not allow the recovery by the Palestinians of the occupied properties on the west side of the city or other parts of the country before the creation of the Jewish state on that date. Sixteen Palestinians currently reside in the home of the Hamdallah, three of them in the room occupied by the settlers soon protecting IDF soldiers.
