Sheikh Jarrah is a small neighborhood in East Jerusalem, home to 28 Palestinian refugee families that were ethnically cleansed from their original homes during the 1948 Nakba.
An agreement between Jordan and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in 1956 stipulated that these families would then be allocated houses and land in Sheikh Jarrah.
A recent ruling by an Israeli court in October 2020 set to forcibly evict 12 Palestinian families from the neighborhood, under the expectation that they were to hand over their properties to Israeli settlers. They were given until May 2021 to evacuate. As a result, 550 Palestinians face the threat of displacement.
This is not a new phenomenon to the neighborhood. Since 1972, settlers have routinely dragged Palestinians out of their homes and forcibly removed their possessions, with the backing of security entities.
In 2009, the Al Ghawi family was forcibly evicted from their home in the neighborhood. They and 10 other families were displaced. A full timeline of recent events is as follows:
