Palestinian citizen Muhammad al-Kurd, a resident of the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Jerusalem, said that his family has been living in a state of oppression for 13 years, as settlers stormed their home by force, supported by Israeli police and army forces, and took over half of the house to this day.

Al-Kurd added to Al-Jazeera Mubasher that his family is threatened with displacement from the neighborhood.

He continued, "The Sheikh Haraj neighborhood was built by the United Nations as a shelter for Palestinian refugees, in cooperation with the Jordanian Ministry of Construction and Construction in 1956, and in the 1970s, settlement associations - registered in America - began claiming ownership of these lands."

Al-Kurd revealed that the Palestinian woman, who interviewed a settler who stole her house in a video clip that spread on communication platforms, is his sister, indicating at the same time that they are fighting against an entire community seeking to displace Palestinians, not just a group of extremists.

The settler says in the clip, "Even if you leave it, you will not return to it, and if I do not steal it, I will steal it from others," indicating that the encroachment on the lands of the Palestinians has become inevitable.

Regarding the situation that his sister was exposed to, Muhammad al-Kurd said that dozens of settlers accompanied by Israeli police and army forces threw the family's belongings on the street and shared the house with them, stressing that this incident is not the first of its kind.

For his part, Sheikh Ikrimah Sabri, the preacher of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the head of the Supreme Islamic Authority in Jerusalem, said that the occupation is trying to prove that it is sovereign, and that is why it practices revenge operations and aggressive measures against Muslims in Jerusalem and the right of Jerusalemites in general in the Bab al-Amud area.

He added, in an interview with Al-Jazeera Mubasher, “The occupation deludes that these practices will gain a right in the city of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa, but the aggressor will not have any right.

The attack is unacceptable and will not be legalized. ”

Regarding what is happening in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, Sheikh Ikrimah Sabri said, “The forced displacement operations in Sheikh Jarrah are related to the so-called scorched land, as Israel seeks to Judaize the entire city of Jerusalem, and from this standpoint they practiced their planned movements in the neighborhoods of Sheikh Jarrah and Al Bustan.”

He pointed out that the Sheikh Jarrah case has been raised since 1972, and the Israelis have not proven their ownership of these lands, as there is no ownership for them in Palestine, but they were renting on long-term leases, but the Israeli courts favored them.

The preacher of the Al-Aqsa Mosque asserted that the issue of Sheikh Jarrah was originally a political issue, with a political decision that would lead to Judaizing the city, while the settlement dressed it only in court clothes for camouflage.

In the context, the Israeli Supreme Court has given 4 Palestinian families threatened with eviction from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, in occupied Jerusalem, until next Thursday, in order to reach an agreement with the settlement company regarding the ownership of the lands on which their homes are built.

Until Thursday, the residents of Sheikh Jarrah will have to find a mechanism to pay the settlers a rent allowance retroactively, and continue to pay the rent until the owner of the Palestinian house dies, so that the rent does not pass to his children.

Meanwhile, Palestinian families expressed their rejection of the unjust settlement that matches the demands of the settlement company, stressing that the Israeli court's decision carries with it an implicit recognition of settlers' ownership of Palestinian lands.

The Palestinian families suggested that the rent allowance be deposited in a special fund affiliated with the court until the decision on the ownership of the land is decided.

Activists on social media launched a campaign (Save Sheikh Jarrah), coinciding with the Israeli court ruling on the decision to demolish dozens of Palestinian homes in the Jerusalem neighborhood.
