The residents of the "Karam al-Jaouni" neighborhood in Sheikh Jarrah unanimously rejected the settlement proposed by the Israeli Supreme Court, which considers the residents of the neighborhood to be "protected tenants" of the "Nahlat Shimon" settlement association, which paves the way for the gradual confiscation of the residents' right to their lands.

The statement of the residents of the neighborhood, which was issued on the last day of the deadline set for them to respond to the settlement, stated that this refusal “comes out of our belief in the justice of our cause and our right to our homes and our homeland, despite the absence of any tangible guarantees to strengthen our Palestinian presence in occupied Jerusalem by any party or institution.” ".

The people added in their statement that the occupation courts, during the legal process, evaded their responsibility to issue the final ruling, and forced them to choose between displacement from their homes or submitting to an unjust agreement, considering this as an extension of colonial policies aimed at fragmenting the social solidarity achieved by the Palestinian people in the recent gift, and an attempt to divert the lights.
