Sheikh Jarrah

Sheikh Jarrah is a neighborhood in East Jerusalem known for its diverse residents and historical significance. It has become a focal point of Israeli-Palestinian tensions due to disputes over property ownership and housing rights. Some Jewish groups seek to reclaim properties they believe were owned by Jews before 1948, while Palestinian residents, many of whom have lived there for generations, face eviction threats. This complex issue involves legal, political, and historical claims, fueling broader conflicts over land and sovereignty in Jerusalem. The situation highlights the ongoing struggle over Jerusalem's future and the rights of its residents.
